We are now almost half way through the second semester of the school year. It is hard to believe that we have been here on the east coast 8 months already. I believe we have all been adjusting fairly well. That isn't saying we haven't had our rough spots, but that is to be expected. We also know that we aren't all going to adjust at the same rate and it isn't going to happen right away. In fact, we have heard it can actually take a year to adjust to a new location. I can see how that is possible.
Since being in the new area we have really tried to get out and explore things more that we had in the past. I think the area lends itself to getting out and about more. There is so much more to do here, the weather is more tolerable, and there are so many things that are free.
I think the hardest adjustment has been my school schedule. It has a tremendous impact on things outside of school. How early I need to get to bed, when I begin to get tired, and thus how much time I have in the late evenings. This is time the Ker and I are use to being able to spend together. We are trying to adjust ourselves. She is a late night person and I am ok with that. In fact, I tend to be too, which makes us compatible, but a late night schedule is not compatible with an early morning work schedule.
We are making the necessary adjustments. We have purchased bicycles and a bike carrier for the Rav so that we can begin biking along the Potomac as the weather improves.
Life has changed, some, but we have seen improvements and not regression. We have, on several occasions, asked if we still think it was a good move. Each time the answer has been yes.
