What's Up Lately.

Hey guys!

Don't kill me, I know its been about two months since my last post, and I'm sorry.

Anyway, the reasons I didn't post:

After Egypt, the fabled homesickness stage set in. That means that the only way to avoid missing home is to go out and get distracted. I spent most of my time out of the house. I cried 3 times in 2 weeks, those of you who know me know that I don't cry and the fact that I did says something. I also cried during school, and Tina (my host sister) and Yasi (her friend/our friend) tried to comfort me. That made me feel really good.

In an attempt to stop the homesickness, we threw a little Thanksgiving party, which was basically a ton of dessert and about 40 turkey sandwiches because my friend Amy (from LA, also on exchange) and I said that there was no way that we would EVER be able to cook a turkey.

Then I got roped in to this performance thingy at a ball. Which requires a white floor length gown. Which apparently costs about €300. Thankfully, Amy said that she has been wanting to sew, so we can make them. Hopefully that works out.

Until Christmas, the last month has basically been sitting through school without understanding anything and going out and window shopping. And maybe hitting a few discos along the way.

I'll do Christmas in another post, but for right now I will explain how I am doing right now.

This is going to sound really weird, but apparently its totally normal for exchange students. I am in the middle of a frustrated, angry stage that started on Monday. Basically I wake up mad and look for anything and everything to blame it on. I was mad at my friends here, my friends in the US, my host family, my college applications, myself, everything. So I punched a few pillows, played violin, but of course I didn't feel better. And it has been this way every day since Monday. I hate myself for it, because I am not the nicest person in the world when I am mad, but it will go away eventually.

I'll do my post about Christmas now.
