Angel in October
Me, in a kimono at a festival my home stay family took me to.
Even though I'm having a great time in Japan, at the end of September I felt a little homesick. At that time, I kept thinking how much I wanted to go home, even though I really like where I am now. I was thinking about my friends and family and started to miss them a little.
However, I really love being able to live in Japan and I am having lots of fun learning and using Japanese. After a couple of days, I started to remember all of the good things. From there I started to feel much better. I know homesickness happens to everyone and now that it happened to me I feel good that I beat it. I feel that everyone, including myself has grown up a bit though living abroad. So for the next ten months, I am excited to try to enjoy my time here as much as possible (and of course learn some Japanese along the way).
