HOMESICK!

I still completely believe that exchange is the best thing i have ever chosen to do. I feel like it is opening so many doors for me, giving me so many oppurtunites and it has allowed me to meet so many incredible people but it has also made me realise how much I really do love and appreciate my family back home!
Exchange has so many rewarding things but sometimes it can be very difficult. At the moment I am currently very homesick and I know that it is normal and a regular part of exchange but that doesn't mean I don't want it to stop. I really miss my family at the moment, but I am really lucky that not only do we have modern technology so I can communicate with them in so many ways, but also that I have a great host family and great friends who I can talk to about this. I know it will get better soon, but for any current, past or future exchaneg students who might read this you all need to know that while exchaneg might be the most amazing experience of your life it can also be very hard!
