Saturday was by far my most frustrating day so far. The
uncertainty of what converter to use, and how, and knowing that if I mess it
up, I could blow something, was pretty upsetting, because I couldn’t use
ANYTHING! Including the ability to charge my laptop and ipad, which connects me
to home. So I wasn’t too thrilled. It looks like Zac’s Wii got blown, actually.
We’re not sure but it’s pretty sad! We used a converter but I have come to hate
them.
The lack of internet also sucked. It wasn’t available at my
apartment until yesterday (I’m glad, though it’s still not the best, apparently
it will work better when I get wireless), so we would take the loooong 2 minute
walk over to my school to try to connect with the internet and write an email.
But then, there was always the frustration of seeing someone across from me use
a code and talk to her parents while I sat across from her in the same room,
with the password NOT WORKING FOR ME!! Gaaaaah! I just got my own special
password and username though, so life can resume. There was also the annoyance
of using the principal’s computer for Skype and finding nobody ON! What’s WITH
you people?! It’s only a 12 hour difference. Then there was the inability to
figure out how to use our washing machine (still). Added to that was the amount
of buttons we need to keep trying in order to turn the AC on or off (also
still).
Seriously, it was a tough day. I know days like this are
part of it, but I’m just much happier with the internet situation now. In fact,
it was the internet that kept me up past 8pm the other night, for the first
time! Which lead to me not waking up between 2-4:30am, up for the day. I’ve
slept in until 6:30am the last two mornings and I am soooo excited. But now I’m
exhausted again. And to think I was cocky enough to think I had conquered
jetlag in a day. Puh-lease. Jetlag is bigger than me. But I am working at it!
Zac is pretty much on the same schedule, too. We went out for dinner last night and he slept through the whole thing :P
