It’s 3:30am on Saturday and I’m on Facebook because I can’t sleep. Is it jetlag? Is it delayed reaction to being home after a year of traveling? Who knows? All I know is that the last couple of days, I’ve felt super tired, have no energy yet with spurts of hyperness and excitement thrown in the mix. I have quite a list of things to thing that I’m slowly working on, including my year-end conclusion update which is half written on the plane, I just need to finish the other half!I’ve been back for 4 days already. I can’t believe that it’s already been 4 days. It really is a surreal feeling especially since I felt like I never left, but then something will happen that jolts me back to the reality of being away for a year. There have been times in the last 4 days when I just get overwhelmed with all the stuff that is sitting there waiting, all the mess I’ve made since I’ve got back in my apartment, and the enormity of what I did. Did I really go away for a year? Did I really visit all those countries and saw all those places and things? Did I really spend that much money?

And I wonder why I can’t sleep…
