culture shock
so here are some signs of culture shock...and im definitely starting to feel some of these.
hmmm I want starbucks or a burrito. and I miss the US. It probably doesnt help that we are stuck on campus all.the.time.
-a feeling of sadness and loneliness,
-an over-concern about your health,
-headaches, pains, and allergies
-insomnia or sleeping too much
-feelings of anger, depression, vulnerability
-idealizing your own culture
-trying too hard to adapt by becoming obsessed with the new culture
-the smallest problems seem overwhelming
-feeling shy or insecure
-become obsessed with cleanliness
-overwhelming sense of homesickness
-feeling lost or confused
-questioning your decision to move to this place
