First post

Hi everyone. I figured it was about time for my first post! Yesterday I finished my first week of my first real job. I moved to Tarnow (which is in eastern Poland, about an hour and a half train ride from Krakow) last Friday, and so far I'm really pleased with my situation. I work full time at an English language school called Brytania. I've got a really strange schedule...I teach some mornings (EARLY, as in 7 am) at a company elsewhere in the city, and then I teach at the school in afternoons, typically from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. The whole staying alert and interesting for 90 minutes at a time, especially from the 7-8:30 chunk is sometimes really hard, but hey, at least I'm staying busy.

Overall, things are going well for me at the moment (really the first time I've felt good about my situation since graduation.) I even practiced violin today for an hour, and loved every minute of it. I hadn't really played since whatever my last concert at DPU was. I just so desperately needed a break before I totally burned out. But I'm starting to get back into it again, and instead of feeling blah like I used to after practicing, I felt really good and accomplished today.

So, that's my life post graduation in a nutshell, up to this point. More to come later. Thanks for letting me join the blog :)
