They say it only takes two weeks to get used to something new in your life and i felt the full impact of this when i returned home for the semester break over the past three weeks. Quite strangely, it was getting used to something old in my life - the sights and sounds that i had grown accustomed to throughout my childhood were once again so ingrained in my routine for more than two weeks that it almost felt that i had never left, that i was home once again, but then reality hits and i'm back interstate for another semester of study.
