Now I finally understand why people have trouble blogging in the U.S. when they've just come back from being abroad, somewhere.
Not like my life here's boring, but I think I've pretty much figured out this whole "life thing" to the point where I'm not the lovable foreigner struggling just to accomplish daily tasks here in California. So I don't really have any ridiculous/awkward/hysterical blunder stories to document because, well, I've just been catching up with friends and trying to organize the mess that is my life in boxes.
Being here though does kind of bring up a natural familiarity I've yet to experience in France.
However, I wonder how much of this is just nostalgia after moving away from college and all the friends I grew very close to over the last four years. When I do see said people though -- and one week is certainly proving to be quite an insufficient amount of time -- it's almost as if no time has passed at all. At times I've felt rather overwhelmed in France, but now I'm starting to see that the past five months have FLOWN by my eyes.
And beginning with my return next week, I'll only have three-and-a-half months left on this journey. As much fun as the ride has been, I'll be interested to see where my wings land me after it's over...
