On being home
I've been back in the states for two weeks. I keep intending to sit down and right something meaningful and profound to wrap up my Peace Corps experience, but in all honestly, I keep getting distracted by all bells and whistles that are distracting about American life. And I've hardly left my house. The internet, for one, can waste hours of your day and years of your life. Suddenly you come to and wonder where your day went?
I know I have interesting things to say about being back, but they are laying dormant inside until all the frenzy of interstate highways, dvds, iphones, youtube, endless cheese options, hummer limos, microwave buttons, and automatic coffee makers. Then maybe I'll be able to put what I feel to words. I know I want to. I know I should (Dell basically gave me an assignment to do so). Just know things are different here.
