"It's a long, long, long, way home."

Well, I'm on my way back to Canada. I've had a good holiday and a relaxing and refreshing vacation but I’m really looking forward to being home and starting classes again. America was not as jarring as I expected, but it also wasn't as inquisitive as I expected either. (I should have remembered, Americans aren't preoccupied with Canada the way Canadians are about Americans) I was also reminded by one of my fantastic readers how much I love poetry and trying to communicate using its structure, so I warn you that there may be some posts in poetic form in the future.

 

I am very glad that I will be out of the country for the 2012 elections. I'm sure it will be frustrating to feel like a spectator (don't worry, I will be exercising my rights and voting absentee) and play the role of interpreter when I don't even feel like I know/understand all the action, but I already found the coverage overwhelming when I was here . . . And I didn't visit Iowa and only briefly visited NH. I assume it will only get worse in the coming months. It's kind of odd how crazy the election season is when it seems like each successive government elected does less and stalls more.

 

Probably more to come in the following days as I finish my trip and decompress.
