I miss the fam.
And the friends.
I've been having a really really good time so far, and I'm finding out a lot about myself and what I like and don't like and what I'll tolerate. I know I'll probably come back as a different person, but I still miss home regardless of how awesome it is here.

And yes, I know I'll have my bouts of homesickness now and then. This is the longest I've been away from home- ever. (And the furthest- 8,953 miles.) But then I think about it again, and I'm really proud of myself for coming this far. A lot of the time I feel like I'm the only one who misses home, or the only one who struggles with it. I have to be reminded that not everyone has the life I do back home, or that they just don't showcase it as willingly as I do.

So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone back home- you guys have made my life everything that it is, and for that I am forever grateful. (This includes everyone I've ever met mind you- good or bad- so if you're reading this, it's for you.)

I'll try to bust out a post that tells stories here soon.

I love love love love you all.
