I think you'll find quite a strong narrative here.

Roadtrip to Cork......(in pictures)

Birthday cakes!

Rough.

My life is completely different to how it was a week ago. I started a new job in a new city and moved into a new house all in the space of about 3 days. That's a lot of new for a person who isn't all that comfortable with new. The house is nice, in a nice quiet area near all modes of public transport. Close enough to the city centre and just a short commute to work. I've met one of my two new housemates. He's a chef from Romania. Nice enough guy. The other girl is moving in next week.

I survived the first week of my new job (just) and am left with mixed feelings. There is a LOT more expected of me in this job than my last. I'm doing things I haven't done since college, and while this is only a good thing in terms of getting good experience, I feel clueless most of the time and it's stressing me out! On top of this, there's the whole first impressions thing- getting to know new colleagues and all that 'but do they like me?' crap.

I just need to remind myself that it'll get better. I'll get used to it. Everything will fall into place. Right?

Easier said than done, though.

¿Dónde está la piscina?

I've recently sojourned in Barcelona, Spain. On the first day, I had a tray of beers spilled down my back and was feeling pretty miffed when a friend said "Hey, things can only get better from here!". She had a point. And thank god they did. It's a great city, but apparently full of pickpockets. I had the first chance since leaving school to practice my Spanish. I needn't have bothered. The only full phrases I can recall are things like 'where is the swimming pool/library/bathroom (this one I used!).' I successfully taught one of the group to say 'estoy como un atún en la piscina' which roughly translates as 'I am like a tuna in the swimming pool'. Oh, how I laughed as I watched her say it to the locals. A ha.
