Adaptation
April 05, 2005 ( life )
I was chatting with another RPCV (China, 2000-02) the other evening, and she asked how I was re-adjusting. It occurs to me that I've now been back almost 6 months, and perhaps some things are more permanent than others.
I'm still much colder natured, I continue to be very anti-consumerist and pro-simple living, and I still like chicken, rice, and peas.
More importantly, I seem to be slipping towards being a raging, ranting liberal. I saw what I can only presume to be the MTV realroadrules-whatever "reality" TV kids being filmed riding up congress in a pickup after leaving the theater, and blurted out a few obscenities aimed towards MTV. Unfortunately, no good diatribes about media or the pretenses of reality TV shows; I'll have to work on being quicker next time.
I've also been opening up the rant on people at a drastically increased rate. I didn't used to really rant much at all.
Eh, it's a good thing, and really, I aspire to become a more tactful and informed ranting liberal (hence grad school).
