Adapting to the US

Now that I'm back, it feels like I was never gone.  Singapore feels like a dream to me.  Part of it is that I've been running around the eastern half of the US doing interviews and second interviews and visiting friends and family.  I haven't stopped since I've been back and I know it will be this way for at least the next two weeks.  There's a lot I have to focus on for the next month. 

Adapting to the US again was no problem at all.  I thought it would be weird for awhile but it's been quite normal.  Driving a car again was only shaky for about ten minutes.  It was fun taking a drive to VA with my fave Glee tunes blasting in the car.  Until I had a car again, I didn't realize that I actually miss it.  It can be time consuming and exhausting taking public transportation all the time.  Places that take ten minutes to drive to might take 30 minutes via public transport by the time you walk/bus to the train, wait for train, and so on. 

I thought I would be freezing after being in constant heat and humidity.  Luckily I arrived to beautiful fall weather.  Now that it's getting colder---yeah I'm cold and shivering but not any less than last fall.  It's just normal midwest fall weather to me.     

My favorite part of being back is eating American food again.  I've been eating all the different things that I missed while in Singapore. 

I am not sure where I am moving yet but I've been blessed with a couple wonderful possibilities.  I will make a choice sometime this week and let y'all know! :)
