Home sweet home

You know that feeling when you've been on holiday and you're coming back all relaxed, only to find your mailbox overflowing with email, your workload seemingly doubled, and your colleagues still stressed? That's what this morning felt like. I went to my parents for the weekend, left Friday and came back last night, and it was peaceful and relaxing. Being pampered by mum and dad, seeing my brother again, and meeting up with friends made me land on earth with two feet. Stepping physically away from London and the MBA made me rethink what I've come here for. And what I want to get out of it. And turns out that I'm reasonably on track. On a more practical side, I've used my visit to stock up on some foods that I can't get here, and I'm looking forward to making proper nasi and zuurkool-stamppot. And I got a new haircut. Now, back to work, the MBA waits for no one.
