One month in, this is what I know: San Francisco

I have officially lived in San Francisco as a DV for one month.
This is what I know so far:

• 99% of the people I live and work with are very committed to their job/ministry... Workaholics.
• Not sure if the San Fran hills will ever become 'normal' to me.
• I miss my friends and family more than I thought I would.
• 10 hour days are exhausting.
• This is the farthest west I have ever been. Before this, it was Minneapolis.
• I have yet to see the entirity of the Golden Gate Bridge. There's always a cloud sitting on top of it.
• The sisters are interesting people to live with; they're normal people like everyone else, which for some reason surprised me.
• Wisconsin beer and Wisconsin cheese cannot be beat.
• I know all the names of my students.
• The Californians have an accent-- I'm starting to pick it up.
• Spent more than my $100/month stipend... by the third week.
• California tax is like %10, lot's more than the 5.5% in Wisconsin.
• Sports teams are a way to connect with my Midwest homeland-- GO BADGERS and PACKERS!
• The weather is weird.
• So. Much. Fog.
• I miss Chamber Singers... I miss ukulele... I miss Unaccompanied... I miss music.
• In and Out is a really yummy fast food restaurant in California.
• I need to find a community outside of my ministry.
• Should have brought more clothes.
• In order to wake up early, one must go to bed early.
• There are so many things teachers have to do-- I never realized this as a student .
• Living where you work has perks. It's also not-so-good.
• Tourists are the same wherever you go.
• There's so much to do in this city and I've only done a small portion of it.
• I have yet to see a cow that is happier than one in Wisconsin.
• Definitely reminded that every person has a unique story that is completely their own.
• Tomorrow is always a new day.
• Finally understand BART and I'm improving with the busses.
• Clipper cards are the best.
• Teaching is a constant performance.
• I miss Edgewood and being a college student.
• Haven't figured out how to be a fun authority figure that students can also respond to and feel connected to.
• I wear a watch everyday.
• My bed is made nearly everyday and I keep my room clean and orderly. This has never happened.
• The sun still shines in California... and you can get a pretty bad sunburn from it.
• Committment to social justice looks a lot different in the real world than inside a college classroom.
