today is the one month mark of working in this foreign land. It seemed to be an especially hard Monday, quite a drag...i was semi-awake for gym after work...coming home to a pile of dishes, and its garbage day. Why the hell does it feel like any other day? Cuz it is...and just realizing, its been 31 of these days already. I was so caught up in all the novelties and differences living here, there wasnt much time to sulk about the icy weather this morning, which almost wiped me out while biking to work. Not trying to sound miserable, its just funny how powerful the mind is. Before it was full of anticipation, discovery, which served to simplify and select out of reality the most vivid moments. Now it seems this little town has little power to influence what travels through my mind.
The lesson?
people go sour, they blame the weather, or the ugliness of people or the buildings around them. Even when we are on tropical of islands or baroque cities, the state of the environment can never on their own sustain our joy nor condemn us to misery.
good news of the day:
plane ticket to Amsterdam = £500, direct train ticket = £500, car rental for the weekend = £100 plus gas. ROADTRIP to Amsterdam it is!!!!
