College Life In America -homesick-
November
Time flies quickly. And as the season turns to autumn, the cold and windy weather affects my mood and motivation. A bright and warm day makes me happy and confident, while a cloudy or rainy day makes me feel upset and insecure.
Today is Happy Saturday, but I spent most of the day in my room. I thought this was a valuable opportunity to write down my genuine feelings by reflecting on these days.
Homesick (??)
Actually, I'd not experienced the so-called homesickness yet. I had been busy with adapting to life here, making friends, and speaking a foreign language. I had taken action by myself and been as sociable as possible.
However, it seems like I'm starting to get exhausted. Moving abroad is emotionally overwhelming every single day.
A culture is different.
A language is different.
Even when you have a bad day, you have to explain it in English. I feel like it reminds me that I don't totally fit into this country.
Tomorrow is another day
It seems like I've put pressure on myself to make the most of this study-abroad opportunity. It's normal and I appreciate my effort and enthusiasm. This month, I'm going to make a decision based on whether I want to or not. I'm the main character in my story, and I believe I can do it :)
