So, I'm back in New York now! Today was my first full day of being home. I was excited but to be honest it was uneventful.
I went out to lunch with my mom and sister which was great but I miss India so much that I'm slowly slipping into madness.
My last day in India we had this class where we touched on reverse culture shock and how to cope with leaving everyone and re-entering the states. It was helpful but it was so depressing and now I'm home.
What am I supposed to do? I haven't even gone to the city yet but I'm going to be mustering up my courage and going out tomorrow. I never thought I would say it but New York is just not as interesting as India.
OK, so maybe I'm only saying this because I miss India and in a few days I'll come back to my senses. I miss the friends I made there. I miss going out and never knowing what will happen. I miss going through a range of emotions all before tea time.
Ugh, I'm just going to stop typing now because I feel I am rambling. Looking at the clock and realizing that it is almost 2 in the morning I can understand why. That's another thing that sucks. Right now in India it is about 10 in the morning. So my body hasn't gotten used to the time difference and thinks I should be up doing something. During the day I am falling asleep all the time. Its so strange. I hate jet lag, that's not fun either.
Jeez, I'm sorry this post is so poorly written and I did not mean for it to be such a downer. Considering that its 2 in the morning and I've only been home for maybe 48 hours, I think I deserve to be cut some slack.
Alright I'm getting off before I start rambling again. If there is anyone out there reading this and if you have ever studied abroad it would be nice if you could let me know your experience. Only if you want to though and only if someone is actually reading this.
peace and love,
cissy
