I remember when I first came back from Ukraine. It was the holiday season and people were shopping every which way. I was shocked. I didn't know how to deal with constant consumerism, the need people had to buy more things. It was terrible. Culture shock hit a lot harder with the consumerism of Chrismtas.
It's two years later. I'm a grad student, living off loans, and I constantly find myself wanting to shop...either at Fred Meyer when I pick up a few groceries or during my breaks at the Duck Store. I am a major consumer! It's horrible. I think I'm a few shakes away from becoming Sophie Kinsella's Becky Bloomwood.
Oh man.
