Just a good day

Nothing too major to report. I just want to share that today was a pretty great day! Work went well; I was busy making phone calls to confirm attendees for an event we're hosting. I also helped a couple colleagues with their ESL homework. I must admit that I feel terrible for folks who learn English as a second language because it's so irregular and practically devoid of rules. I had lunch at Pollo Campero. For those of you who are unawares, PC is a Guatemalan chicken chain, the likes of KFC but better! (Ironically enough, there is a Pollo Campero right near my parents' house in Roswell, GA.)

This afternoon on our way home from work, my roommate and I stopped at a little kiosk by our place and got snacks. Mine was the most delicious tostadita- like a giant corn chip smothered in guacamole, cheese, salsa, and onions. Yum to the max! Then a friend of my roommate's picked us up and we went to the orchestra. Yes, the orchestra. It was not your typical orchestral repertoire. The theme was "movie theme songs"! They played the themes to "Toy Story," "The Incredibles," "Monsters, Inc.," "Star Wars," "Harry Potter," "Tangled," "Mission Impossible," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Simpsons," and a few others. It was quite impressive! We also ran into two of our co-workers, which was sweet.

According to literature related to long-term travel, I am in the honeymoon stage, so it should not come as a surprise that I am currently so enamored with being here; however, since I got off to such a rough start, it is, I think, that much better that I am now enjoying it so much. I have no doubt that there will be highs and lows over the coming months, but for now I want to revel in the fact that today was just so enjoyable!

Get in my belly!
