A new lamp arrived

I think that everyone left the school about 4 hours ago and I am the only idiot still here working. I am about halfway through the planning for the first month but my room is still a mess and I haven't seen the last of my boxes from DHL yet. They say they're on the way, but I'll believe it when I see it. The folks down at customs had quite a time with my stuff though. They broke the few picture frames that I had packed away so gently and for whatever reason they decided that the Calculus books I brought probably contained some sort of contra-ban. I just wonder what my bike is going to look like when it comes. But, don't tell Abraham I said that.

I am getting used to things here. I know it's only been a week, but I think that I am finding my way around well and getting the hang of things like showering in a tub and sweating like a pig. The thought of returning home to an empty apartment is a little saddening. Maybe that's why I don't mind being here at work until 6:30. At least there is air-conditioning, internet, a task, and a coffee maker. How nice would it be to walk in the door and find Oriana standing there. Maybe she'll pass a glass of wine into my hand as I give her the groceries for tonight's dinner. And we can just sit back and relax together.

Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through such thoughts when I know how much they will tear me apart.

Enough of this, I've got to get out of here. Goodnight peeps.
