Overwhelmed, overjoyed and overtired

 If I have to sum up the first few days in Valencia, it would be with these three words.  


Overwhelmed by the absolute volume of information to take in....planning and giving lessons, being thrown in the really deep end, brushing up my rusty Spanish and learning Valenciano, taking wrong turns and right turns in the hire car, travel in the metro and just so much to think about.  


Overjoyed at the amazing CSB school, the very friendly school staff who describe themselves as our family, great students and sheer joy of being there every day.  I am overjoyed at the sunshine, the blue skies, the beach and a decent strong cup of cafe con leche.


Overtired as I slept in the kitchen for the first few nights due to an accommodation mixup, never in my whole life have I wanted a bedroom door so much.  (It's now sorted, thank you!). Overtired because of a long commute of more than an hour, getting lost and really early mornings....I am talking London commute early which certainly wasn't something I was expecting.   


But mainly overjoyed 😃
And now I am definitely over and out as I shut my bedroom door for the night.
