I just realized that my posts come up as written by from far away..
I do not think I like that, but I am leaving it as it is anyway..
From far away is still me!
I did not wake up today till half an hour before I was suppose to leave..
Quick getting ready, and left the house..
That is when I realized it is the second Wednesday for me in Arizona, finally one week passed by..
I would not say it went by really fast, but it was kind of quick..
I feel like I am still settling, but there is still time, but by the time my mind get set, it will be time to go home..
Thinking about that, made me think about when I went to Germany..
It took three or four days to get used to the idea..
It took me a week to get used to the place..
Of course, I continued to learn everyday, but I was fine quicker than here..
When I came to the US, it was hard, and I struggled a lot, but I was better than now..
There is something missing, or different about this trip, and I cannot figure it out yet..
Am I homesick? But to where? Both Oregon and Saudi? Or none?
Is it because of the lack of social time with people?
Possibly both, one of them, or neither..
I will let this to the days to show me..
It is just something I was expecting the least from me..
Besides that, today I got an email from the main research center to get my alternate orientation..
I started working on a project in the morning, and when I finished I worked on another project on the afternoon..
The morning project was to convert MRI pictures from their original form to 2-D pictures that we usually see when we see x-rays pictures..
That was done using Matlab and linux programming..
The project on the afternoon; I worked on compiling data for one research study and organizing them in one place, creating what is similar to database..
I did not finish before the end of the day, but I enjoyed working on it..
As we went home, I was really tired, so I decided to take a nap, and put everything behind my back..
I went to sleep right away..
Thinking that I am going to sleep for only one or two hours..
It ended up being four hours!
And as soon as I woke up, I started talking to my roommate, and that is what I did for two hours..
I like talking to her about many things..
We talked about marriage, rules, and parents' expectations..
I learned that the legal marriage age in India is 18 for girls and 21 for guys..
It happens a lot illegally though..
I was still tired, so it made sense to go to sleep..
I did not..
I was reading till 3:30 am, and before going to sleep finally!
To get ready for another day in Arizona..
