It has been far too long since I updated this bad boy. I'm trying to think about what all has happened in the past week, but it's nothing too crazy. Classes have been running smoothly and I'm not too intimidated yet. We FINALLY booked our hostels for spring break and I must admit, it will be an adventure. As Louise said, it's either going to be great or a disaster. I'm excited but also a bit nervous! I think my shower may be leaking into my carpet again so I'll check that out more tomorrow morning =/ It would make me kinda upset. Hmm...what else? I just purchased a book on my kindle (it was free) that someone told me was a good book, so The Picture of Dorian Gray better be a good one.
I turned in my essay, application, and resume for a chance to get $4000 for a summer internship. I like to believe it is a good essay but unfortunately I will not be the judge of that. It would be a blessing to receive that, but everything will work out the way it should.
As for things back home....well...I have no idea how to comment on that. Part of me just does not care to worry about it. But another part of me knows it is impossible to NOT think about it some of the time. But I also know that worrying and stressing about it now will get me absolutely no where. If anything, it will ruin my time here. Honestly, I adore this place. I know I must have mentioned this before but I am so incredibly lucky to have come here at the same time as other people did. I know that I could have easily made friends with just about anyone, but I get along so well with a large amount of people and it's so great to feel that way.
Now, don't get me wrong. I miss tooooons of people back home, but I think that is different than homesickness, I don't feel the need to crawl back home right away, it fact, part of me wishes I was going to be here longer, but I have a feeling that when the time comes, I'll be ready to go home. Sometimes I do wish I was in my own bed or eating a home cooked meal. But I know I'll go home and soon be over all of that and want to come back here.
The problem is you will never be in the same place twice. Even if I were to come back here again, it will be totally different. Sure, some of the people will be the same, but not all of them and that is my favorite part about it here. I think you could have stuck me in some random location with all the same people and I would be just as happy.
On a plus side, it's beginning to get warmer (knock on wood) so maybe I won't freeze to and from class. Let's hope.
I know this has been totally random and just my thoughts typed quickly on a screen, but it's what I have! Haha Tomorrow Kels, Louise and I will be making dinner for some other Americans, let's hope it turns out okay! Maybe i'll even find time to write about it tomorrow!
I promise I won't let this much time go by again!
