How Many More Phases Are There?

As reverse culture shock phases go, Phase 3 lasted about 5 minutes before school slapped me back into the Stone Ages.

Last night, it came to the sudden realization that I can’t live the same lifestyle here that I did in India. This means, no:

  1. Eating at restaurants/ordering food every night

  2. Going drinking whenever I want

  3. Going out to the club all the time

  4. Seeing friends every day

  5. Procrastinating

  6. Watching Olympics 24/7

  7. Sitting on the balcony talking about all manner of things
Seriously, when school raises its hand, you best sit down, shut up, and start working on that essay you keep avoiding.

You could still be doing all of those wonderful things, if you lived in Rez.

lol, n when you go to school without the assignment, u have the teacher approaching you for the essay, u r in a fix, all the friends seem like imps of the devil at that moment, u curse urself for not havin a good reason for not having done it.U promise urself that u wud not let it happen again.
N yet,its even worse the next time......;)

p.s.when u say "raise its hand" does it mean that it actually hits u??

It hits you figuratively.

Seriously, I keep looking at this list and feeling intensely guilty, because every day, I do exactly what you wrote.

Must be because I'm in Marketing, and we all know that marketers really just prance about, bringin' their sexy all the time.

It's not about what you know, it's how good you are at convincing people to buy a product they really don't need. Bringin' your sexy tends to help with that.

Does it ever! Ask me someday about my parking-lot collision, and how I got out of it...

Maybe I'd rather not know...?
