(copied from a former blog)
I feel like my posts have been a bit gloomy as of late, and that's kind of the mood I was coming in with for this one. So maybe I'll be a little emo or whatevs and then end with some positives. I guess I've just felt a bit sad and lonely lately. I know part of it is bound to be the transitions back into school and adjusting to a different set of people being around. Urg. Part of it is probably some of adjusting back into American life (maybe?). I mean, all of these things that I've suggested might be culture shock and then ascribe to something else are kind of adding up. Another likely cause to my mood could be working awake shifts overnight the past two nights and being sleep deprived and a little stressed about everything. My dreams are a bit indicative of my mood.
I had one dream where I was reporting that I was going to be a TA for three different professors. (In reality it's only two.) Then last night I dreamed first that I was driving on the wrong side of the road, and then I got pulled over. Things were okay and I got to leave, then I was driving around erratically and started hydroplaning and I smashed into about six parked cars as I raced along. I got out of the car hoping it was a dream and (in my dreaming) seeing that it was real.
