The Aftermath

Who here has accidentally handed over pounds instead of quarters at starbucks? I have.

I thought i was going to die when i got off the plane at the airport in boston, it was so incredibly humid out and i couldn't stand the heat. Everyone kept asking me, "why are you sweating, You were just in EGYPT, how could you possibly be hot here?!" No ONE understands...DRY HEAT DRY HEAT DRY HEAT! It's magical i tell you.....that dry heat. Humidity is horrible.

I must say that things happen a lot quicker around here. Ordering an iced coffee doesn't take 20 minutes and you don't have to play charades when telling the people behind the counter that you DON'T want whipped cream on your iced mocha that was supposed to be a latte.

Oh but nostalgia kicks in at times too, especially when I see someone beeping only once at someone else. I sometimes just wait for another beep to bring me back to egypt, but it turns out people are pretty sane here with the beeping, and i should probably embrace that.

anyways. i can't bring myself to retire this blog. so i'll find ways to keep it going. you should too.
