back in a big way

actually it's a relatively small way- but i am, nonetheless, returned. after a less than thrilling homecoming weekend, I've made my way to new york after a one year, international hiatus. It feels like I never left. I quickly adapted my london oxford street- i'm.in.the.matrix.i.dare.you.to.try.and.stop.me. walk to my new york ehman,i'm.just.a.squirrel.tryin.a.get.a.nut. mean streets saunter. I also quickly remembered that as a female, just to get down the street you have to play deaf. deaf and dumb. There are a few changes I've noticed, but the biggest ones are my own.
First haircut! Hair has never been above my shoulders, probably not even the day I was born. I liked it on Friday when I chopped it, but am now bored with it. Also, wearing the dress clothes (loads of interviews) makes me feel like such a grown up. It's all a facade, je promettre.
Ability to communicate effectively has returned, which is a relief. Interviews are going very well. Hopefully end of next week I'll have a pretty clear idea which path I'm taking.
