Anew

So! I've just started my new life, new job, and my new course! and so far, it has been cuh-ray-zee! I had a full day training course on my first day. Plus, there was a Psychology conference going on the upcoming weekend, so our Dean held a "welcome-foreign-speakers" party at his place. Caught a ride with my collegue to get in town right after school, socialized (which is exceptionally tiring for me), and yea, I crashed as soon as I got back to my cousin's place. Two full days again for the conference and, of course, more socializing. I feel exceptionally dumb around exceptionally smart people. Even on our ride back, conversations are still based upon "intellectual topics." Phew. I think it's an overload for my tiny little brain and I feel totally incompetent. But, in a good way (if that's even possible). Well, challenges push you forward, right? I'm ready for it! I really need to take on the mentality that there's nothing to lose. I shouldn't be holding back. I'm given such a great learning environment and well-educated peers, I really need to get into it. Ah... I'm exhausted after a long weekend, but so content :)
