what a week

First week at the new job: completed.
How do I feel: like I got hit by a bus.

This has been one of the craziest weeks I have experienced while living in this country. I started working this week, with the understanding that I would just be there in the afternoons, to finish up this last week in Ulpan. Well. The executive board was in town this week, from all over the world, having all kinds of meetings. Important meetings. And who else had to be there? Oh yes, me. From like 9am to midnight or later, I ate, drank, breathed, watched football with these people. It was fun, but also intense and crazy and there was all kinds of balagan. Drama like you wouldn't believe, and now it is continuing in the aftermath of the meetings, which finished Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. And while it is intimidating to come into an organization when it is going through such tumultuous times, I also really get the sense of how much these people care about it, which is heartening. I'm still excited to be a part of something that people can devote themselves to and sacrifice themselves for. However I think I need to just sleep for the whole weekend, hah.

whew. Let the good times roll!
