Tomorrow I will leave for my Northern Trip. It should be fun and it only 5 days long. I will not bring my laptop so I will not be updating anything until next week. I want to thank everyone for the supportive emails. They mean a lot and help keep my spirit lifted. I can't wait for this trip and have no school today. So after I'm doing talking and getting all the stuff I need done on my computer I will go home and rest and then change and walk to aerobics. When I get home I will eat, shower and finish packing and head to bed. I'm finally starting to get comfortable in my new home and am able to sleep well again. I am talking to a friend who went on exchange last year and he has sent me a very true story and since being here I can totally understand where he is coming from. He was telling me about the little things that are making it hard for him to still adjust back into the swing of things, this is what he wrote. In Thailand it was so good. and i miss it a lot. i understand that, and i can deal with it, but i miss it so much that i keep on trying to hold on to Thai things, and you can't do that here. and then there are the ways that you changed that you don't realize at first. I'm a much quieter person than i used to be. but it's deeper than that. i have a hard time talking to people and just being around them all the time. that's why university is so hard for me now. I'm surrounded by people all the time. even now, I'm in my room, and i can't relax because my roommate is here too. You would never think that putting yourself in a country in front of new people you would become shyer, however with the language barrier sometimes its too exhausting to always try to understand and communicate so you do pull away. I will be thanking him for the heads up and be listening and sharing his stories on here.
Until Later, Dacotah
