On My Own (For a Few Weeks)

Two somewhat significant events occured for me today. First, my boyfriend left for two and a half weeks at home with his family. This leaves me to fend for myself for awhile. It may not seem like a big deal (especially for someone who lived on her own in DC for 5 years), but for a person living in a foreign country who has a relatively small network of acquaintances, believe me, it is significant. Although I am naturally sad and a bit nervous, I am trying to be optimistic about the next 18 days. I have a list of things I'd like to work on, including continuing to search out job prospects, work on my Italian and a variety of other personal projects.

Thankfully (point number 2), I started work this evening at a hostel in Naples (the one where Mohamed also works). I will be working a lot (especially in Mohamed's absence), so that will keep me busy and occuppied. Also, I'll have good internet access to keep in touch and (hopefully) blog regularly, so stay tuned!

Hi Andrea!! I've been 'keeping in touch' via reading your blog this past year, what amazing adventures you have had! Well if you are in Naples vicinity in Sept, Omar and I are visiting Italy Sept 1-15, and staying in Positano 9/8-11, would love to connect!! Maybe even sign up for the new tours you are giving :-) Take care, Janelle
