Stuck in between
When I came here, my whole world was in Gothenburg. My house, family, friends, stores, gym, job, school, parties. I had never really experienced anything else.
In Santa Barbara I built up a new world. With new friends, new house, new school, new parties, new stores, new culture and new lifestyle. So now it feels like I am stuck in between, do you know what I mean?
I have almost been here for 4 months now. Maybe that doesn't sound like a long time for some of you, but I have experienced more during these months in California than I do in years at home. So many new places and people!! I am very thankful for that.
Many I have spoken to say that the reverse culture chock is worse than when you move away. And I know things will be different when I come home. Friends will not be home, I don't have a school to go to anymore and I'll miss my life here. But I think I'll get used to it. Especially when I come home from the alps in April. Then my friends probably will be home soon and I'll be home in Sweden for a long time.
I am going to make the most out of the weeks I have left here. And when I come home I am going to do all those things I have missed so much. In the end of december a new adventure is waiting for me and I couldn't be more excited!
