Adapting to a new environment is emotionally challenging. Changes in mood are frequent and intense. After some fun birthday drinks at mine last night with a diverse bunch of people I am all very happy to know, this morning at work I felt hung over, tired and unproductive. Now, in the afternoon after a wholesome lunch and a bit more than a pint of coke (580 ml) I feel productive and energetic again.
Moods strongly affect the perspective on many things. A blog-entry that one is content with can be nauseating if read an hour or so later. I also tend to find that people's characters change with the language spoken. As I am currently in an intense Spanish learning phase this implies somewhat developing a new personality which is a bit like a trial-and-error process and causes changes in mood and perception.
