Sick Day

Started the day off not feeling 100% so I took a sick day. My manager took a sick day as well. Courtney, another girl on my team is sick, too! We're dropping like flies over here at TransPerfect Translations.

My brother called me out on Monday for seriously slacking on my blog. It's true. I have. I am going to start putting in the effort that I used to into documenting my experiences here. So picking back up...

I had dinner with Ali and her Bama friends, Aaron and Ashley last night. Always fun to hang out with some southerners. And got a good nights sleep last night. It's not fun not feeling well, but it is nice to have a whole day to myself to rest and not think about work for a few hours. Though, I still have been checking my work email neurotically. Best part of my day by far, though, is the package I got in the mail today from my mom. She brought back two bracelets, earrings, and a keychain from Kenya for me. I'm of course already wearing the bracelets and earrings, and put my keys on my new keychain. Whenever I like something, I usually wear it immediately. Mom, you know that better than anyone. :)

So I'm going to be honest. Part of the reason that I haven't been writing as much is because I really miss home a lot. A ton, actually. I miss my friends, my family, Owen. I miss Memphis. The transition from college into the work world is tough enough as it is, but it take it on alone and in a new city with a job that is not the most ideal (for now). It's just going to take time to adjust and be truly happy here, I guess. That being said, your prayers and support have been and will always be hugely appreciated. 

On a lighter note, Happy St. Patty's Day, friends. Hope you are wearing your green today!
