It's Monday now, but for my sake, I'm going to pretend it's still Sunday.
I now have 2 weeks left here, and I'm scared. Mostly, because I feel like I haven't learned anything here, and I'm scared about going back, finishing my degree, and figuring out my life. Seriously, what comes next? I mean, I know what I'm going to be doing come September...but I don't know what to do between graduating and then. I guess I'll figure it out when I get back.
I have a lot of mixed feelings. Mostly, I regret not making more English friends, but I think this problem was harder to avoid. My situation was so temporary, and I lived with people who were in their final year of uni. Which only makes me more grateful to have met my friends Meghan and Carolyn.
They have really been there for me on my roughest days here...even when I didn't know them well enough for them to be.
It's going to be a little scary coming back home and not having them around all the time. Luckily, I've booked a flight to Buffalo for New Years to be with Carolyn and her family. I'm hoping that will help with the transition...more travelling. Haha. :)
It's definitely going to be hard to get back to being stationary. This past year, I will have spend 5 weeks in Korea, 11 weeks in the UK (Lancaster, Liverpool, York, Edinburgh, London, Manchester) and soon, 4 days in Buffalo, NY. Although I guess Buffalo won't really count as part of this past year. Hehe.
I'm going to have to take some drastic measure to get work done before I leave. I don't really understand why it's been so hard for me...the assignments certainly aren't difficult, and I don't feel overwhelmed with work. I think it's been the amount of time I've had to do whatever I wanted. And I just didn't want to do work. That, and I'm always on facebook or skype, trying to keep in touch with people from back home, and the people who are not at home, but also away in other parts of the world.
I know I'll get everything done, it's just hard to begin. I'm just going to have to suck it up now and do it. Home can wait. It will be there on the 18th when I get back.
On the other hand, I did feel like I was more productive today than most other Sundays. I got a lot of things on my to-do list checked off, which shows progress!
It is now 2am, and I am going to attempt to finish up this paper so I can work on the next one.
Cheers! :)
I am at the same point in my life where i have to now step out into the world but i have really have no idea what to do..
ReplyDeleteBut i guess everything will fall nicely into place somehow.. right? lol
The cold here is eagerly waiting for your return :)
Yeah I'm in the same position. I think now that the deadlines are coming up I'll be able to put my nose to the grindstone and get it done. <3 you girl!
