This crazy country i call home

Hey all. Reverse culture shock is not something to laugh about. Ive been back in WISCONSIN for about a month now and still have issues with nightmares, speaking in tongues, and acclimating to the American go go go! lifestyle. Im currently buying my first car, looking for my first 'real world' job complete with benefits and retirement which i never cared about before.... Yup, i guess the glory days are over. Welcome to debt, responsibilty and endless fatigue from 40+ work weeks and malnutrition.
To beat these 'im back to american ways' blues, i had a dinner party the other day french style. I made a large meal complete with at least 5 courses and invited over some of my best childhood friends. It way really fun to share a bit of French cutlure with them and answer their questions about my experience. Living french in America does help with the transition back, but when i get emails from my buds in france, i really want to be there. I hope that after i find a job and have more of a schedule my 'france sickness' will wither away....
