Home....I am home. In the U.S., in my parents' house now. Things have been so busy with the traveling, the unpacking, the re-packing, and the preparations to move to my new apartment in San Francisco. I haven't had time to post anything.
reverse culture shock...going to eat at Chili's the night of my arrival home. Wow...obese people. Wow...it's a dirty mess (at least the one near my house is). Wow...customer service. Wow...having to pay tax and tip on meals again.
On the plus side, I spent a weekend in SF. I saw the Frida exhibit at Moma, I saw the Dark Knight in IMAX at the Metreon, and I saw Jacqui Naylor perform at Yoshi's Jazz Bar and Japanese restaurant. (Well, I also picked up keys to my apartment and stuff). I was feeling really ambivalent about SF and having to readjust to a big city. But, I was really happy this weekend and couldn't help but think that wow...SF is just so...vibrant! I know that "vibrant" is a total cliche for describing a city, but I just couldn't help but feel that. It's so alive. It's much bigger than Boston. There are soooo many huge and amazing museums, performances, concerts, festivals going on all the time. It would be hard to get bored here. And yet, it's not hugely overwhelming like Tokyo or NY. I <3.
So...I should enjoy my last few days of freedom before having to start freaking out over medical school and actually starting to study again.
