It's been a while. Three weeks, to be exact, since I returned from Vietnam and updated this blog. I've been resting up during this time, restoring my depleted energy from three months of constant travel, heat exhaustion, and sensory overload. Vietnam really took a lot out of me. When I returned, it took me one week to get over a stomach bug (my goodbye present from Vietnam) and two weeks of dealing with jetlag for me to actually feel like myself again.
I have also been using this time to figure things out for myself. I left for Vietnam so abruptly, with all my college stuff still littered all over my parent's house, exactly as I left it three months ago and those big decisions to what I was going to do post-college unanswered. So needless to say, I still have a lot of figuring out to do. But instead of that usual abruptness I usually employ when making decisions, I'm going to take my sweet time figuring things out. Right now, I just want to enjoy my time back home, catch up with friends, and transition myself to life back in San Jose (which hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. I'm actually enjoying it here).
Now that I have regained energy, I will go back to updating this blog on a regular basis. Don't be surprised if this blog becomes "Vina's adventures in trying to find a job" because, well, excursions cannot finance themselves! Or, as my buddy Francisco suggested, "Life after Vietnam: The slow progression to the real world."But regardless of whatever that is ahead of me, I'm excited and (hopefully) ready. I'm looking forward to a trip down south to visit my brother in med school in a few days and also, a road trip through the northwest (and possibly up to Canada) with Jasmin in the fall. So, plenty of adventures ahead to keep you guys updated on.
