not quite working

I'm still not accustomed to being back. The thought occurred to me today that it took more than a semester to feel at home in Berlin, so it ought logically to take a similar amount of time to get accustomed to the USA again. That was kind of reassuring at first, because it takes the pressure off. It means I don't have to feel comfortable and well-adjusted right away. It will take a while no matter what, so I shouldn't feel obligated to feel at home already. But then I thought, this is going to be an uncomfortable semester then.
