One thing that I did not anticipate properly about overseas work is how small the bubble you live in actually is. A colleague of mine compared it to when she worked on a cruise ship for 6 months. The options for people to befriend outside of work are very limited...especially when you live at work (in her case, a boat...in our case, eastern Europe).
That being said, we are doing well, don't worry about us. But please pray that we would be able to find community and balance of personal life and work life.
We are taking time to go out on a date tonight (much needed), and hopefully will get out of town for a day or two this weekend. It will be so nice to be off campus for a little while! (to put it into even more perspective...I am one of those who spent a lot of time being a commuter when I was in college. I lived in a dorm for a total of three semesters when I was a student, the rest of time was spent living off campus. Being a wife of an RD, I am now on my third semester of living in a dorm when I'm not a student. It is definitely one of those "God has such a sense of humor" situations). :)
Hope everyone is doing well.
