So after returning from Tokyo Friday night I crashed at my new place for the first time. We got back late but I still managed to arrange a few things and get somewhat settled even though I had to be up early for work on Saturday (yes, we work on Saturday, short days though). After hitting my head multiple times on the doorways (I don't think last years intern had the same problem...), I quit and went to bed.
The next day after work John took me out to get some more provisions for the apartment and I spent most of the day unpacking and getting settled. I found that it is rather functional. The Japanese have a unique way of going about things. Instead of a shower, there is a shower room. This room is used for all activities so there is a sink, a mirror, and a tub. I've found it difficult to brush my teeth after showering without getting my socks wet...
After unpacking, I went for a stroll along the beach to determine the best running routes. I probably could have run... But that would have taken energy.
Sunday was the Kameda golf outing. Those who know me and know how well I golf can make their own assumptions about how well that went. Enough said. Though I'd feel reluctant if I didn't mention how well maintained Japanese courses are and how excellent the service is at their courses.
Today I am starting my first full week of work. My schedule will be the same most days which, for the first month or so, will include shadowing different departments. Part of this week is nursing.
After work today I'm bound and determined to resume my training...
