Comin' Home
Somewhat subdued excitement. Not sure how I really feel about coming home just yet. I mean, I'm certainly very excited on one hand, but on the other, a whole world of uncertainty awaits me when I return home. I don't even know what my house looks like anymore, and I'm still trying to shake the image of driving on the left side of the road from my mind. Adventures in driving to ensue?
I'm unemployed, I have no concrete plans for the next X number of months and I haven't a clue what the hell I'm going to do for the next segment of my life while I still try to figure out what to do with the rest of it. I am as directionless as ever. If there ever was a time to regress to a six year old state of mind, this is it.
I'm wondering if this whole "reverse culture shock," thing that Nik was talking about will effect me, especially since I've tried with all my might to be unlike Hong Kongers. Surely, I've been exposed to their way of life, and I've probably even picked up some of their habits, but here's hoping to a seamless transition back into my old life (unlikely, I know). I'm not sure if it's sad or plain ol' depressing that I just want my "old," life back, but it was comfortable, I was content, and at least I had some aspects of my life figured out. Now - nothing. Unemployed in suburban mecca Markham, here I come.
