Back to Life

So I haven't been blogging. Writer's block I guess one could call it...or something of the sort. I've been having a difficult time wrapping my head around my last few weeks, where I'm at right now. Not gonna lie, getting back into Madcity life after my past 8 months has been hard, to say the least. Over and over again I had heard about reverse culture shock, about reintegrating into what used to be the norm, and how difficult it can be. I heard it, but I never actually...heard it...if that makes sense. I mean, I have lived in this city a greater portion of my life, and it is the closest thing I have to home, but right now it feels as if I've been gone too long and kind of missed a good chunk of college life; like my madison life kept moving forward, but without me in it. When does it get easier to be home?

that's exactly what i'm afraid of when i get home. best shot at it.. just go with the flow, catch up with as many friends as you can, and sooner or later it should get better, or easier in that sense.

This isn't what I want to hear! Oh lord, I can't imagine going back to I-town after a year of being abroad...or even back to @US. Ahhhhhh!

Rusty call me soon, asap! I lost my phone with my glorious list of numeros.

Arturo, I'm easing back into things, and it's gotten a bit better, but it's hard. Don't worry buddy, you still have a few months before you have to think about it:).
