Adjusting Back

This blog was only to write about my six months out of The United States. The trip was awesome and it is over for now. I don't know if anyone is reading my entries nowdays. As I adjust back to getting mail, going grocery shopping for the week, putting gas in my car and filing new bills; I wake up everyday sending job applications and attending job interviews whenever my resume made it through the corporate filters. This is part of life I guess, prove to someone that you are capable of doing what they need. I enjoy my interviews but anytime I walk out of them I feel like I just attended a game and I missed the score somehow. Who won? Who lost? Were there good plays? Bad plays? Now what? And then going back home and still don't know anything for one, two, three weeks or ever...
I have decided to stay in the city where my brother and mother live now. Hopefully I can get a job here as well. The idea is to be together for a while. It is still strange having my own room. I like it though. I was a little tired of sharing a room with six or perhaps 67 more people. I am enjoying spending time with my brother, we are different in a lot of ways, so sometimes we clash. Part of life as well.
I have flashbacks of the cities I went to and the people I met and visited. I find myself sometimes daydreaming about what they may be doing now. What time it is there, how cold, how hot. After my last entry I went to Bergen-Norway, I took a cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki, then back to Hamburg-Germany to visit my friend Ceci and then take the train to Holland. I Holland I went to the cities of Breda, Eindhoven, Utrecth, Rotterdam and finally Amsterdam. I took a plane back to Vaasa-Finland and as I landed in Copenaghen and Helsinki I had also flashbacks of my time there. I visited friends in Holland whom I met in Kenya and Rio de Janeiro. Visiting them was one of the best times for me. It was just the perfect way to end this sixmonthsminimo trip.
I think I will continue writing. After all, life is a journey on itself and there is no space for minimo.
