for weeks before i left, friends and acquaintances would ask me if i was excited for my semester and i told them all, i just need to leave this country for a while.
i meant that. and i still feel that way. in a lot of ways, my summer was a huge emotional rollercoaster and i feel that the best way for me to deal with all that emotional crap is to be away for a while. to get some space. to be in an entirely different atmosphere. to feel the fresh air of new culture and new streets and new cafes and new faces, everywhere.
and so far, it’s just what i need.
i do miss some things. i miss the little nice things in my room that make it pretty. my room here is white and undecorated. and i don’t want to spend money on decorations that i can’t take back to the states with me. i miss my blender and my kitchen supplies and my hair dryer.
