Reverse culture shock????

So Im back in Oregon USA. Its been like three weeks. My plan is to go back through my journal and post stuff that is of any interest.

But for how I feel right now. I think the best is feeling lost. I guess that the reverse culture shock is thitting hard.

I dont know I would really love to be back in Tanzania with Fadhili and just to be there. It is strange because in December I really was getting tired of it. Maybe because I truly am American, I need my space, variety in my food taste, etc. In TZ I could not stand that I could not do anything by myself. I do love being able to go to the store at 12 at night and not have to worry about anything. But I got used to being around people all the time. But right now I can tell that Im avoiding my friends, for some reason I dont really want to be around anyone, but still feel alone and that I wish I had someone to be with.

Also since Im in Oregon and its winter, Im freezing my ass off. I mean I have been sweating for six months in Africa and now Im freaking cold. Im adjusting a little bit, but damn!!!!
