to a higher plane

I've been thinking how the behavior here has been affecting me. Ever since I got back to America I feel as though I've been getting punches in the face. I am adjusting a lot better than I have been before, but I am getting really irritated by a lot of things and am constantly reminded of the reason why I wanted to study abroad in the first place. Being productive at the time now means a lot to me, whether I'm working on something that is school related, career related or spiritually learning about myself. I feel a lot better by doing this than getting angry and worrying because that doesn't take me anywhere really.

I have been thinking and doing a lot of research about what I want to do once I finish my degree here in San Bernardino. It gets overwhelming and exciting. I still have to take care of a lot of things for school where at the same time I have to look out for requirements if I'm applying for something international related during my school year. At least I could say, that I feel good that I'm already thinking of what I want to do once I graduate instead of waiting around until I do.

It's hard, but I'm trying to let the little things inspire me again, even if it means putting Love Actually in the DVD player just to hear the British accents or drinking a cup of Earl Grey in the morning.
