Home comming

I got back yesterday around 2pm after a 40 something hour journey home. Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, Bangkok to Hong Kong, a 12 hour overlay in Hong Kong and then finally a 15 hour flight home to Toronto. Being back home is odd. The entire drive home I looked out the car window and everything looked so foreign to me. Pulling up into my driveway and seeing my room again was so strange. Right now it feels like I never left home which I really don't like. I guess it still hasn't fully hit me that my big three month trip is officially over. I think one of the weirdest things was coming into my room and seeing my calendar still be on the month of May, with my countdowns until the trip still written in and "SE Asia, Jakarta Bound" written in big letters on May 19th. I really have been gone that long.

I've been walking around my house aimlessly not really sure what to do with myself. I unpacked but everything is just in massive piles around my living room, my desk and floor. I don't even know where to begin in order to start organizing. I had to call work today in order to tell them that I can start up again next week. I guess it really is back to the real world. The sadness of leaving South East Asia has yet to hit me and I'm a little worried for when it does. I keep thinking that I'll be seeing all the people that I had spent the last  part of my trip with within the next couple days but then I realize that won't be happening and I really have no idea when I'll see some of the people I had unexpectedly gotten so close with, even within the last 3 weeks of my trip.

All morning I've been trying to upload all my 3000+ photos from the past 3 months and I haven't even been able to get through them all because there's just so many that my computer freezes and I have to restart it all. I'm just in a weird daze now. I woke up so many times during the night so confused as to where I was and why I was sleeping alone, without a roommate, and then I realized "Oh right, I'm in my room, in my house". Sad realization. I plan on taking the next week off until I start work again to get myself back in order. I'll finally post all those travel stories that I had promised along with all the pictures that I've taken so keep posted.
