I'm back in Maryland, visiting family and friends, and waiting out the rest of my sublease. It's definitely nice to be here for a while--I was getting a little sick of travelling. Within the course of one week I was in 6 different airports (in one of the 4 times, to boot), in three countries, and three US states.
I got into Boston last week and was there for two days, then rented a car (from the airport, hence the additional airport trips), and went to a wedding in upstate NY over the weekend, back to Boston on Sunday to fly to Baltimore on Monday.
I had a great day today: got up early, went for a run, took care of some emails and stuff to do, took a nap, had lunch, ran some errands, ate dinner with my parents, then got through some reading while also half-watching a movie. I wish I could have more days like that.
I'm still in a bit of culture reacclimation. Like, being at the grocery store today was a little overwhelming. It wasn't as big as the big grocery store in Lilongwe, but that its size and amount of products was so normal here (there are two others in the town, one of which is larger) just seemed weird. Also, Americans eat some weird food. All that processed shit just can't be good for you. Seriously, who needs their kids starting off the day with chocolate waffles? Whatever.
Now tomorrow off to DC for a few days to hang out with friends and kick it in a city. The suburbs are a little lackluster after a while.
Last note: high-bandwith rules and allows for you tube again.
