even if I teared up when "Party in the USA" came on the radio because it made me think of my kids....
Reverse culture shock is an interesting thing. I slept till 11 yesterday, and woke at 5:45 today. My body is highly confused. I've felt small for the first time in months. I stare at people. I'm still surprised everytime I walk into a bathroom, and I pause before I stick my cup under the tap to fill it up. I got to re-learn what real butter tastes like, (something that a girl who went to college in Cache Valley should never forget.) I understand the lyrics to the songs on the radio, and I spent an exorbant 8 dollars on dinner last night (I felt ridiculous handing over that much money for a meal.) My hands are shriveling up because it is so dry. My bed feels like a cloud sent straight from heaven, and I can walk barefoot through my own house again.
WEIRD.
I miss China.
But at the same time ---> this is really home. And I'm glad to be here.
Krystal! I can't wait to see you again, my dearest :) I am so glad that you are glad to be back in the US because we all missed you immensely! Sounds like Americans are blessed more than they know. Love you!
