I'm pretty sure that the worst of the homesickness is over, and part of this came about with the realization that this is actually my last month with my first host family. I'm feeling like I really want to savor it now, even while feeling a bit stir-crazy.
I had a fantastic day at school today. One of the problems that I have encountered is the fact that for my current lunch buds (who are all amazing and wonderful friends) outside+cold+standing+sandwiches= lunch. I love talking to my friends, but I had started to not look very forward to lunch because of the hour of standing and feeling cold. Today it was about 38 degrees (fahrenheit) and raining, so lunch hour was really sounding unappealing at this point. But then one of my friends had the lovely idea of going to his house to eat. We walked about 5 minutes to his warm, cozy house where we proceeded to eat lunch and have an abba dance party. My teachers for the rest of the afternoon weren't there so I had an 45 minutes of study and then got to go home early! (In Europe they don't have substitute teachers-if the teacher isn't there in the morning you have study hall, and if they're not there for your last period you get to go home early! It's a wonderful system). It was a lovely day! :)
