settling in?

I have now been here more or less a month. Sadly, I have not yet found a job and frankly I am not as optimistic I used to be. Well, noone said it would be easy. Actually everyone said the opposite. Nevertheless, I have not yet come to regret my desicion to come here. Everything is still novel to me and I do, I really do enjoy every moment here. I walk on the streets and even though I have already walked on those streets, there is still so many details to be noticed. There are the statues, the fountains, the pillars. But the best part is that the details don't stick out. As a matter of fact the statues seem to be forgotten by the people. They have just always been there and they melt with the environment perfectly. The more enjoyment there is in discovering them of course.

I walking around aimlessly. I scketch, I take photos, I write down notes, I read a paragraph or a few. Unlike many, the idle state suits me well. But of course there is just a bit of guilt. I should be working. Then again, I do what i can to find a job. I hope that soon enough my efforts will have payed off. Untli then, oh well, until them I can just walk around. Still being optimistic, I consider the possibility that soon enough I wont have all this free time in my hands.

  1. Well I see you are enjoying yourself for sure. I know it is hard to find a job as a foreigner, I have experienced that in Australia. But in the meantime you are doing the things I would have adviced for sure.. go out and see the things as there might be a time when you can't see them or it is to late to see them.
