Italy was awesome! I ate. I drank. I slept. It was heavenly. I also got a great perspective on adjusting to a new place where you aren’t very adept with the language. One of my brother’s friends commented to my brother about how shy I am. He just bust out laughing. It made me think about some students some of my classmates, who seem to be very quiet, but maybe it is just that they are getting comfortable with English. It was eye opening and relaxing. I got a lot of reading done on the plane, too, but I don’t want to make another 8 hour plane ride in coach. These are the situations that make me appreciate that I don’t have any kids.
I feel so out of the loop and have lost all momentum in only a week of jumping off of the wheel. Most people looked a little off this week. My mom came up for a few days and that’s when I realized that business school has eroded my already small consideration of others. My house is usually a wreck and I’m OK with that. Looking at my mess through someone else’s eyes made me grateful that I don’t have time to date.
