mmmmmmmm...HOME. such a lovely word, and such a lovely place. i never fail to realize how much it means to me until i finally return to it. this time doubly so. i've been gone for most of this year, and in the meantime, my family has been diligently moving into our very own mansion. i've been exploring:)...it's so nice to laugh and feel comfortable and be myself all at one time.
but i do miss oxford. i miss the camaraderie i found there...i miss the breathtaking beauty: the inspiration i found in every ray of sunlight bouncing off those dear dreaming spires. it was surreal.
i always try to prepare myself to transition from one world to the next and discuss worriedly with other people the difficulties of reconciling worlds. but honestly, i have never experienced culture shock or had trouble moving on. it is necessary, so i do it. i adapt to new (or old) situations rather seamlessly...which is interesting, because i am the type of person that hates to let go of an experience. maybe i have found out how to have the best of both worlds? who knows.
i like hugging everyone and being welcomed back. this is my life too.
