My first day at work is over!
Monday: Orientation. Tuesday: First assignment and training. Wednesday: More training. Thursday: Besides the orientation and the training sessions, the department organized a welcome lunch for me at an Indian Restaurant - I happened to mention I never tried Indian food (because I didn't think I would like it!) and my supervisor decided it is time for me to try Indian cuisine.:) Friday: I came to work to find a surpise on my desk - a Chinese music box! I went to lunch with other colleagues. We chatted about relationships::). When I was back from lunch, the very same day, we went out again to Starbucks. The neighborhood is just beautiful, and it is such an inviting walking area with all these cofee shops..so we feel tempted to go out occasionally to refresh ourselves. I have also started doing my first assignment, overall, I had an extremely productive week - worked hard.
Saturday: Today, we re-decorated out apartment with bright orange, creme and red colors, we also separated the living room from the kitchen with a wooden elegant screen from "World Market". Our apartment is small, and the screen added the cozy feeling I was missing. We attached a cloth lantern onto the screen, and decorated the walls with blinking christmas lights. It was just in time, as today we had our first snow!!! It is still snowing outside, crispy-white snow flakes on our frozen windows...Yawn.
