mildly bruised

but still edible.

That's how i feel about this adjustment period. I feel akin to a barely ripe mango in a box with several others on a wobbly old truck - travelling on the mangled back roads of Negombo.

It's amazing how much I've learned about myself in the last few weeks. The things that i'm willing to put up with, compromise on, stand steadfast on, fight for have all evolved over such a short period of time. It's like jana v.2007 just got an update and I'm still trying to integrate this new program into the standardized environment. By no means do i know it all - heck, on most days, i feel like i've barely crossed over into this new world. One foot nervously sits on the new side of this gateway while the other wiggles its toes and buries itself in the familiar.

I guess that's human nature - you tend to become attached to the markers of your life.

it took awhile to get a hang of things:) the first year is always like learning how to walk again, only now it's between two worlds--the one one and the one you've now entered. good luck on your journey!
