1 month in
I am starting to count the days till I can go home and the count is 225. I never thought I would miss home as much as I do and become as patriotic as I have been. Dont get me wrong its been a blast here. I have met loads of new people and learned alot and have some good friends many of which are better than the ones back home, but I miss home I miss ranch dressing football food the complacency of just being home and wondering what it is like to see the world. The accents at first were a novelty and now they are getting really old really fast. I am also sick of arguing the whole language thing the z and the zed center and centre humor and humour. I feel like I am not learning here because there is no homework assigned and its all more about self learning. which I do well with just doing over homework helps it stick. I am enjoying playing football here, we already have more wins in 2 weeks than they did in all of last season so im proud to be apart of that and proud to be a blade. I love this college in every way so much better than NAU. I enjoy being here alot if only I could transplant this college into america it would be close to perfect. I know that can never happen and I am living in the best year of my life but I dont feel that way I feel homesick and I know come june 27th when I am sitting in the airport I will be dam where did time go I want to go back but nope not right now I want time to fly. It also seems that every american that I have met will be leaving after this semester and back to there day to day lives of being an uncultured ignorant american. I know I will adjust but its a matter of when I have already been in england for over two months and dam have I done and seen alot but it still doesnt replace the pit I have that just misses being on american soil. I think instead of just missing america and missing home I will just truly embrace the culture but then I think I cant I dont like so many things and so many things are just strange and I really dont like the sense of humor anyway the biggest lesson I have learned is to just live it and go with it. Till next time
