So, today after our classes, the school had all of us (or all of us that hadn't strategized a plan of escape earlier) stay for a little half hour-ish session on reverse culture shock/ re-entry into the US...I had already started realizing how much it's going to suck when it hits me (I say "when," not "if"...I know myself well enough by this point), but after that little meeting thing, I'm just getting rather apprehensive of the whole thing...I'm bracing myself for the worst...I figure it will probably hit me when January rolls around and I have to get into a new routine...I'm just afraid that it will be bad...
This is the part of study-abroads that they never tell you about!!
Well, I hope all of you are having a good, safe week and I hope the weather is cooperating for you! (oh, btw, it's finally gotten cold here...it's like 15ºC...which, I know, isn't that cold...but I'd still consider it as cold...) Good luck with the end of the semester and/or the beginning of Christmas preparations!!

Bad news. Reverse culture shock for me was WAY worse than the initial culture shock. But it is a growing experience and I had a lot of other factors to adjust to besides just changing countries. It will probably not affect you as much. I don't think Samantha had any problems.
