Week two in the bag! For some reason in the morning though, homesickness is triggered. Im not sure whats doing it, my routine isnt THAT different. But maybe its just the simple changes that make the biggest difference...? Who knows, but once i get my day started and into things that are more "normal" or even things that are new to explore outside, i feel much better. Im enjoying walking around town and getting to know my new neighborhood. Im also learning and figuring my way around my schools neighborhood, since thats REALLY going to be my hub. Im loving what i see, and what can easily become routine for me and my places of get away when needed. Although in the mist of it all, i still find myself planning a visit home and wondering when it will be possible. I really want to finish my degree though, and do it at an awesome school and make the most of my experience. but also, i must not feel weak or too prideful when wanting to visit home. its okay to feel homesick, and its okay to miss home. there is no shame in that. and i know that after a long semester, i can always go home, visit for a few weeks and everything will be okay. This is a chapter in my life that i have opened and started. I dont want it to abruptly end or go blank. I want it to be finished and full of adventure. Im totally going to leave my footprints all over this town!
