Reverse Culture Shock!

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,

Welcome! :)

Alright I'm going to start off by saying I feel a bit strange doing this. Think about it. I'm going to be writing about my life and "The Way I See It," in hopes that people actually read this. A bit narcissistic, but also a bit intriguing. I guess it will be gratifying to know that what I have to say actually amuses and or entertains people out there in the cyber world. That is assuming that people ever actually read this blog. *crosses fingers*

I have many friends who have blogs and they always tell me that I need to get one. I was a little apprehensive because like I explained before, why am I going to assume people want to read what I have to talk about? That sort of changed when I spent a semester studying abroad in India. Before you jump to conclusions this blog will not really be about India. I mean I may talk about it occasionally but it is not going to be the main focus.

Speaking of main focuses I have not really figured out what I want it to be for this blog. Once I get a feel for this thing then I'll focus it a bit more. Anyway, yeah, back to India. Everyone and their mother (that isn't just an exaggeration) thought it would be a great idea if I started a blog while in India. Sure it sounds like a great idea, but come on I'm in India I do not want to spend my time in front of a computer. Oddly enough that is what I'm doing now, but that's besides the point. The point is my semester in India is almost over I have about 12 more days, a twenty page paper from hell, a twenty minute presentation giving me gray hairs, and lots of last minute souvenir shopping before I'm back in beautiful NYC. 

Once I'm back in New York I'll be able to focus on this blog and write about things that interest me. Consider this post a precursor to a list of things to come.

See you in New York!

Oh and if anyone does stumble upon this blog and thinks it may be interesting, let me know if there are anythings you would like me to talk about. If you give me some good topics I might just take you up on the offer.

Alright peace and love,

Cissy
