Home Again.

I have been home now for a few days. I haven't journaled at all which makes me feel like a failure. But I have baked a lot! Pumpkin pie, Magic Bars, Breakfast...yummy. I missed cooking.

It's so weird to be home. It's really cold, for one. And it's exhausting. I have been having incredible spurts of energy that last a few hours (usually when I'm seeing someone I haven't seen in 4 months) and then I crash and feel like I'm going to fall over. So far, I've been able to time the crashes with being close to my parents couch. This is good.

I feel incredibly blessed to have such amazing people who want to see me despite my roller coaster of emotions and energy. I'm grateful.

I think about Ghana all the time. I'm reminded of people, conversations, and experiences every few minutes. All this thinking makes me tired.

While thinking is overbearing at times, answering people's questions is easier than I thought it would be. I guess I generally don't have a hard time talking... :)

Remember when I felt really unproductive in Ghana and felt like I only accomplished one thing per day? Well, that seemed to follow me back here. It seems like I do nothing all day but I'm still exhausted by the end. Next semester is going to kill me if it keeps going at this pace. The United States doesn't like this pace even though I'm used to it...ah!

Trying to take this cultural readjustment day by day!

Love you all.
