Hmm...
Not as weird as I thought, coming back home.
I thought I would be kicking and screaming the whole way, dying to stay in Europe for just a little bit longer... and then be confronted with massive culture shock, the-good-ole-U-S-of-A type shit.
But no, not really. It's comfortable. Familiar. Just what I need right now.
I think that week of traveling (almost) alone after my program ended was a nice end to the 9 weeks abroad. I realized I can get pretty lonely sometimes, especially when I'm in a foreign country and I just spent 2 months with tons of amazing people, non-stop...
So, being home is nice. Haven't really gotten to "sleep in" yet because my stupid body and its propensity to really bad jetlag won't let me sleep past 7:30. Fab.
Went out to the desert, got to ride my shiny red bike which is all I really care about sometimes.
Seeing all the people I want to see. Hopefully. Realizing all over again that it's hard to keep in touch when you've left it all behind... (sorry)
Saw an amazing show this evening. Tim Maurer, Brian Mashburn, other various talented musicians... all in the best cover band I think I've ever seen (Pop Britannica). I was grinning the entire time Tim had the mic in his hand. It was so great to see him perform again and do his thing on stage...
So. Driving to Seattle on Sunday. Back to the lab and finding another job and classes and goodshows! and goodfriends! and things like that.
How are you all doing on this fine... early morning at 2:30? (Maybe my jetlag really hasn't worn off yet)
Lots of love.
