Feels like starting from the beginning,..

Today ws my official first day as an intern with an actual preceptor, one on one. I have to say I am completely overwhelmed, exhausted, confused, nervous, scared, and all of those feelings that you get when it is something new and you feel like you are in over your head! I am positive I can handle all of the pressure and even learn a lot;however this first rotation might be hard due to my preceptor. He has a thick accent and I find myself trying to figure out what he is saying rather than listen to the information and direction he is giving me. I came home today just totally lost. Plus it seems that my mentor talks in circles. I asked questions today, but even right now I am puzzled if I even got an answer. Everyone has their own teaching techniques though and I am sure I will understand eventually. Just at the moment, I am left scratching my head and wondering how I am going to make it through the next four weeks with a suitable grade!
Otherwise, our move went smoothly. The new place does not smell like smoke, in fact it smells like apartment. Ryan says he can smell different foods from previous residents or neighbors, but I think it is just an older apt. smell. There is a problem with this place though and we both knew that this could be an issue when we took a first floor apt.....loud neighbors. They seem to have about a three year old that uses the apartment as a race track (literally) until about eleven at night! On top of him, the parents stomp like I have never heard and are just inconsiderate it seems. Monday morning, a sleeping in day, we heard banging at 6:15 that continued until 6:20. It woke both Ryan and I up and the only thing we could figure out is that their washer was off balance and knocking. Grr it made us mad. I fell back asleep but Ryan was up for the day.
Wedding plans have reached almost a hault, as I expected. As it is I am stacked with homework and reading for school, so wedding planning has simmered down. There are some major things we still have to do and soon, but getting school and interning started was a major priority.
I guess basicly at this point everything is new to me: grad school, interning, and wedding planning. Hence, the title. I feel like I have started undergrad all over again and have those freshmen eyes!
