Welcome to my study abroad blog. So I set this up before I even left, but today (Jan. 28th) is the first time I've really had a moment (or less distractions) to write it.
It is odd to remember how scared I was to leave. The week leading up to my flight, if I had had the option to stay in the U.S. I would have taken it. I guess I always did have the option, but an expensive plane ticket slash the embarrassment of admitting to people I was too frightened to leave deterred me. I'm so glad I did decide to stick to my plan and come to Sussex.
I'm glad to say none of my fears have come true. I was really afraid that no one would like me and that I would magically revert back to being an anti-social, awkward middle schooler. Luckily, pretty much everyone I've met so far had been really friendly and welcoming and I'm only just as awkward as I was before I left. Plus, there are so many new things to do here that I've been keeping myself pretty busy so that I don't dwell on all the people I miss so much in St. Louis.
Its odd, I'm not homesick, exactly. I don't miss St. Louis, the city. I only miss the people. I often wish that people could have come with me because there are so many things here which remind me of people back home. Especially while watching the inauguration I really wanted to lean over to Dan and reminisce about election night, or talk to Maryse about how we saw him announce his candidacy.
Okay, so this will have been the most whiny of my posts, and I'm going to focus more on all the new things I'm seeing and doing for the rest.
