I've been attending school for two weeks now, and already I am bombarded with homework. It's been tough figuring out when to make food, do laundry, do my homework, and not procrastinate. I guess in a way, me writing my blog is a form of procrastination. I have to submit an online answer to one of my profs very soon, but I think I'll survive. If I don't, well, you'll probably hear about it later this week.
Today, I received a letter from C. When I walked in the door this afternoon, there it was, and not one moment too soon. Lately, I've been experiencing waves of homesickness. It'll be little things that set me off like: not being able to find popcorn around, not having the rest of my wardrobe, taking the bus late at night, or sometimes even food because it'll remind me of how lucky I was when I was living at home.
I was very happy to hear from C. She even sent me photos of my sister's graduation, our choir adventures, and even the time when we went to go visit a friend. Receiving her letter made me tangibly remember that I have awesome friends.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement. I hope to survive this year with all my fingers in tact, have a blast, and see you all when I get back. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.
Until next time... Take Care!

Hi M. Sky, it is not easy to live away from home by yourself. Your generation is very lucky already. You can email, Skype, FB and see the person on the screen. I did not have all these items and did not hear from home for several months. On the positive side,it trained me to be more independent. What you need to do is to be strong. If there is anything that you need help, we are always here. Focus on what you do but relax. Meet new friends. Call me. You will overcome.
ReplyDeleteHello M, I miss you so much! Please come home soon! Do they not have popcorn over there? Shall I send some cheddar popcorn over to you? Will it last in the flight? I hope you're feeling a little better. Being away from home does not seem fun. At least it's an awesome experience :). Hopefully you come home for the summer <3
ReplyDelete- Lots of love from M.
