    I'm home?

    I'm home now. I think.

    It feels so weird to be here. It's even hard to think of this as "home". I got so used to living in Reading that Oklahoma feels like a (very different) foreign country.

    Right now I feel like I have 3 'homes'. After a year or so of being in Oklahoma, I considered it "home". But after living in Reading for a couple months, I began to feel like "home" really was San Jose. I used to feel like I was half Oklahoman and half Californian. But after being way from both states for a while, I've realized that I'm more like 95% Californian and 5% Oklahoman. Whenever anyone in England asked, I'd always say I'm came from California, and usually didn't mention Oklahoma. But when I moved to Childs Hall for the last few days, I felt like Reading (specifically Windsor hall) was home.

    I'm sure Norman will start to feel like home again soon. If not, maybe San Jose will when I go there next week for Christmas.

    Wow, even though it feels like a hotel right now, it sure feels great to have a nice, clean, quiet house all to myself! I can get used to this.

    Now I just gotta try to remember how to drive so I can go get a burrito!

    Glad you're back home. And when you remember how to drive, make sure it's on the RIGHT side of the road. ;)

    If you ever feel uncomfortable here, just look for the sign that says "way out." And always remember to mind the gap.
