I was feeling really nauseous and tired today. I really didn't want to do anything so I sat in my bed watching Modern Family. I'm on Season 4 already. I did not come to Hong Kong to do this but being the introvert I am, I just naturally get tired out by all this. Consciously, I feel fine (maybe a bit tired) but I think my body isn't used to everything and hasn't settled down yet. On a subconscious level that I obviously can't control, I'm still very uneasy. I know it'll take some time to get use to and after that it'll be fine so I'm just giving it the time it needs now.
Aside from that, I've also been going out every day so I really need a day to myself and not be around anyone. I've decided that unlike what I usually do, I'm not going to push it. I'm not going to be too hasty or eager and just let everything happen at its own rate. I won't push myself to socialize, make friends, or explore. From past experiences, this usually makes me act in a way that I normally don't and that causes a lot of issues. This time around, I'll just go along with everything. I'm sure it will turn out fine, if not better than the experiences I've had before. Things just always fall into place. So far (writing from Day 12) it's been working out great.
My roommate came later in the day and stayed out until 3am because of O-camp so I got a lot of time to myself. She was surprised because she knew I was from the US but she saw I was Asian. Her name is Rachel and she's a local. She talked to me in English and being in the mood I was, I only responded in English because I didn't feel like putting any extra effort to have a conversation in Cantonese.
