I have been back in the United States for a few weeks now, and the first few days were definitely an adjustment. I didn't have any of the reverse culture shock. I mostly struggled with getting my sleeping schedule back on Illinois time. The first few days back, I was waking up at 4am, which is 10 am Dublin time. It was funny to me that I had a harder time with jet lag coming home, when I wasn't worried about it at all, than I did going to Ireland. Other than my sleep schedule, the only other thing I noticed when coming home was that I have a sense of wanting to go back and experience even more! I think that I really did get the travel bug from this experience studying abroad. I have no doubt that I will see Ireland again. I also want to take this final blog post to thank everyone who helped me make this dream a reality, especially my family, NIU, and the NIU Study Abroad Office. Without your support, I don't know if I would have been able to study abroad. Sláinte!
