It surprises me how quickly we all adapt to a new place - how quickly we create a new sense of normal. The room I was given is already a safe haven. The classroom is familiar like the ones back home. The streets are memorable - not by their characteristics but by the memories we have developed there. Yet, it has only been four days. It is surreal how quickly we accept change - turning the foreign into a new normal. We have settled.
