One thing that I think all Exchange Students at some point get is... Home sick.
The weekend that I went to visit my friend Mel we had went to a friends house and ate dinner. At the dinner table, while Megan's (our friend) parents began to ask questions about my life, I began to get this feeling in my stomach. This feeling was indescribable. I felt sad and confused. I held back the tears until dinner was finished and then I politely asked to be excused. I ran upstairs to the bathroom and balled my eyes out!
Home sickness: takes over your body (i could not stop crying)
That was the first time I had actually got Home sick out of no where.
I love it here in Austria but being this far away from home and for this long has hit me now and I hate to say it but.... I am home sick!
Things I miss from home:
- I miss my little brother
- Family hugs (not that I don't get them here) I get hugs from the family here all the time
- Arepas on Sundays
- Drives to Denver with mom
- Cheerleading
- My friends (Meghan, Aubrey, Morgan, Justin, Nick, cheer girls)
- High school games, dances, sports
- SNOW! (i never thought i would say it but i miss SNOW)
- I miss driving
- I miss a lot of the clothes i left back home
- I miss texting and calling friends
