Today was the first ugly day thus far... lots of fog! Yuk! But I will admit the hustle and bustle lifestyle of the city and the markets continued... For me it has just been a SLOW day. I did go to the market to buy some cheese, fruits and veggies, because once work begins the time to shop quickly disappears.
Today would have been my first day in the lab, but it was pushed back to Monday the 5th, and now even further to the 7th! Well, I have more time to enjoy the city! It's just getting very frustrating. I know where I am working, but my schedule, and actual job within the lab will not be given to me until next week, the day before I begin. Having no internet in my apartment, it will be hard to get this important email. (If you are wondering how I am writing this post, I am in a WiFi Cafè.
Tomorrow is another busy day, as I need to go to the bank to get my lab insurance. I know your thinking "the bank?" Yes! I thought that to! I will admit that I am the kind of person who needs to be VERY organized. Especially when it comes to research, work, and even school! I need to be informed about a work schedule (and even my job) in advanced; not the day before, especially when it is not easy to check email. To be honest I was so excited to start in the lab today, but having it pushed back another week stressed me out just a little bit...(Mom, I admit that's an understatement.)
My frustration level shot up tremendously. I know I am in Italy, but adjusting to the "piano piano" life style is NOT easy when you grow up in a community where everything is completed and initiated very quickly.
a presto,
PJ
