Orientation, Day One: The Aftermath

Is it really only 10:30? The way my body feels right now, it could easily be 3 AM. I guess those are the effects of getting five hours of rest each of the past three nights. Ugh. As social as I should be right now, I'm not feeling up for the extremely loud music and arts and crafts downstairs.

But lucky me, half the room is still packed and I'll be up for another two hours (easily) getting everything into place. But hey, all my hard work got me here; it's not going to stop anytime soon. 

In one word, I feel overwhelmed. Exploring such a foreign place with any familiar faces is tough. Doing so with far less sleep and food than I'm used to is even tougher.

But I am resilient. I will pull through.
