SOOOOOO Tired!

Today is the first day of my new shift. I need to get used to my new sleeping schedule, it has done a total 180, but I think I will enjoy working 1am-1pm. It's nice and quiet for the first few hours. I had the chance to start my Rosetta Stone Language Course (Spanish). I set up a cot in my office, in case I got tired, but I have managed to pull through so far.

I tried to sleep the day away yesterday, but was kept awake by my 4 roommates. I didn't take them into consideration when all this started and now I wonder if we're going to have "issues." I don't know when they work, because they always seem to be in the room. We each have our own bunkbed and have partitioned the room using wall lockers and shower curtains to ensure maximum privacy. That doesn't stop sounds and smells, unfortunately. Last night, I walked in my room and it smelled like potatoes. I have NO idea what that was about. Maybe one of the girls brought home a plate of food from the DFAC....I hope.
