Midway through my new confidence

So, it's been a few days. These days were completely full, 12 to 14 hour days... plus my own time running in the mornings.
I went running every weekday this week. I let myself sleep in today because of the sleep deprivation coming along from all the work this week, and to give my muscles some time to heal up. Then I proceded to make really cool door decorations and a bulletin board that together took me from 9:00 to 4:00 to make. But all 28 of my rezzies have names and cool door decorations.
Then I cleaned up my room, did some more work... I painted for a couple hours... completed a miniature color-patch piece (it would make sense if you had seen the original)
It's hanging up in my room now. I'm excited to think that I can make so much art so easily now that I have a little art area. It's exciting.
I am currently just finished with my first set of rounds as an RA. It was cool... and easy since nobody's here but us RA's. So if my first set started at 10, and I got done at 11:20, then imagine what it'll be like with residents here and stopping to chat all the time. We have three buildings to canvass, three basements, three outsides to check. Fun though.
I'm just not looking forward to the late nights on the days before PT if they do happen.
I am exhausted. The day went by very quickly, and my back hurts. I miss my computer chair. This wooden chair leans back instead of supporting, so I end up hunching for my computer. My head is heavy, my neck complains about it a lot. haha.
I found my poker chips. They were with my food. So a perfectly logical place, right?
Haha. I love my staff. They're all really cool people. Almost to the point where I feel boring. Wierd, right? But seriously, there's nothing really unique here about me. Justin does ROTC too, Crystal does Kempo - and still practices, other people can do art too, many of the staff workout and run, Joel does computers, Kevin's the nerd in charge of all the cool movies and dvd's, even Evelyn is the quiet one... I'm feeling a little lost, because I have been doing so very much outside interaction with lots of people, I've been having to define myself socially more and more. Usually I can just rely on my talents, but not this time. My core self is having to work on translating itself to real-world, and it's a hard transition.
You know how you have words that you've read throughout your life, and in your head they sound one way, and then out loud they're different... like chaos, facade, segue... etc. That's what it's like for me now. My personality is one way in my head, but coming out, I have less than fluency.
Ah... that's also silly.
I love my graphics tablet, my camera, my laptop, my artist's easel, my paints, my music, my water heater-cooler-fridge, my new hamper, my ability to paint, and to write, I love my pictures on my wall, and my new room, and my external hard-drive, and my claddagh ring, and my tea, and my mugs, and my new hairbrush, and my new confidence.
Here's to its longevity!
