Exhausted

I'm simply exhausted. I'm not sure when I'll feel like I'm on the right time zone. Today I was up at 3:55, again around 6 and then again at 7:30 (and I get to sleep in today! Not fair!!!

Today is Wednesday, which is my day to spend with the boys, no school, no chores, etc. I'm looking forward to it, but if I don't rest I know it will be miserable. Yesterday afternoon I was so tired I felt like I was going to fall asleep while sitting with Ben. Not good!

I'm still in a weird space, not quite adjusted to my surroundings but also not entirely homesick or worried. I really, truly just want a full night's sleep without interruption. That would be nice.

Thankfully I discovered that I can watch the Daily Show & Colbert report over here, so I get a bit of news that I care about! After playing with the kids today, I have homework to do for my class, which just requires a mindset that I can't seem to grasp at the moment. I can think of things to say in French, but reading and doing excercises specific to a lesson is really hard. I had forgotten how hard school was. (Even harder when you don't speak the primary language).

I took the bus yesterday, which was a new experience (BTW all the public buses are Mercedes-Benz). Wasn't too difficult, except I missed the first bus (while buying a much needed French/English dictionary) then I wasn't exactly sure where to go, thankfully I have the ability to ask "Où est la bus pour Céligny?" and mostly understand their responses. I missed the second bus somehow, but I don't remember seeing it. And I was looking. Anyway, finally I made it on the bus and back to the house. Someday, it will be second nature but for now I'm still learning.

I haven't been eating much, which probably isn't a good thing either, but for what ever reason I just don't eat. I'll have a little bit here and there but I haven't had a full meal since Sunday.... I plan to work on that. :)

I'm missing everyone back home, hope all is well. We're going to the mountains this weekend, and I promise to take some photos. Love to all,
