Well.....Its finally happened, Im homesick. But, the thing is, Im not sure if you can entirely classify it as homesickness. Its quite strange because Im totally glad Im here, I dont want to be anywhere else, I know I made the right decision by coming here, and quite frankly Im having a blast! Its just that the other day, I realized when I go home whether it be in August or if I stay another year, everything is going to be completely different. I was, for some reason, under the impression when I get home I will just be able to bop to Morris and hang out with everyone there. Well, considering everyone (or most everyone) is graduating in May this isnt going to be the case. Everyone is going to be spread out and its probably not going to be easy getting everyone together in one spot at the same time! Bummer!! I will try my hardest though! ha! And Im sure Ive missed some good stories too!! Anyway, so that bummed me out. And there`s always that akward readjusting to each other time after you`ve been gone for awhile. Blah! Then, I realized it had been like 2 1/2 months since I talked to my best friend from high school and this is not normal. We usually talk for at least an hour on an almost daily basis!! There is so much going on that I dont get to hear about through emails, and then when we finally do get to talk there`s too much to inform each other on that its too difficult to fit it into an affordable (cause let me tell you it is EXPENSIVE to call ppl) phone call. Arghh! Realizing you`ve entered the real world is a rough deal man. I can handle the bills and what not just fine, but not having all my friends around, thats gonna suck. Well, I mean, I guess it is sucking since Im here and all. The thought that from now on I might only get to see people in the same spot again at some cheesy ass reunions really blows! I hope this isnt the case!! We can at least make our own cool ass reunions!! I guess this will just make it that much sweeter when I finally get to see everyone again!! Anyway, I have great people here too who are very concerned that Im homesick. So, they are keeping me busy and constantly asking if I need anything. Im sure its cause they want me to stay two years, which I might. But they are very helpful! And school is always fun!! So, thats good. Who knew this teacher gig would be so enjoyable! I still dont know about teaching in America though. Im sure its mighty different when you can actually understand what the students are mumbling under their breath!! Oh the joy of not understanding sometimes! Well, just wanna let everyone know that I miss them!!!! And really cant wait to see everyone again!! Im gonna have to be patient for August!! Wow!
