I would like to share with you some lessons I have learned or re-learned in the last couple weeks:

When I travel to a new place, I must make sure to factor in some money/time for my ignorance.

I should assume that the first two weeks abroad are going to be hard on my body.

Skype and comfort food can do a lot to improve my overall well being.

The first week or two in a new ward can be difficult; I am usually happy as soon as I stop judging.

When I keep my naps to 15 minutes, my sleeping schedule doesn't get messed up.

Sunscreen on the nose is usually a good idea.
