First and foremost, the hunger has been the hardest adjustment I’ve had to make as a vampire.  What few vices I indulged in my mortality were never so prevalent – not to the point where I felt so commanded to answer the desire for them.  I could control them.  Yet the hunger is in control of me more than I am of it.  I’m not used to being slave to something inside myself.  That experience is new for me.

Another adjustment is certainly the sense of time.  When I was alive I measured the passage of days, months, years with regular habit.  Even if it was just noting the date upon a newspaper.  I observed time, I respected it, and felt very keen about the necessity to keep track.  Now, it occasionally surprises me when I hear a date.  The nights tend to blend together.  I feel outside of time in a way I’d never done when alive.  It doesn’t feel so oppressive or so precious to me anymore.

There are many other aspects of adjustment I’ve had to make since my turning yet these two are by far the most major developments that I consider worth mentioning.
