July 9th...

...is my official start date.

Some things that I'm looking forward to now that I'll be making a livable salary once again are:

1. Joining a gym
2. Taking yoga classes
3. Eating out a little more
4. Being able to purchase a 4€ bouquet of flowers from the marché and not have it feel like a complete and utter luxury
5. Moving to the type of Paris apartment that I've always dreamed of (we'll see)
   

Rejoining the workforce also has me a bit nervous as I'm not sure how and if I will be able to adjust from working 12 hours (and most recently 0 hours) to full time employment. I'm also a bit apprehensive about once again having to navigate the muddy waters of office politics with the added complication of cultural differences. I guess only time will tell how it all works out.

Stay tuned.
