Homesickness

It is now almost the end of November and truly time is flying by. I cannot believe that in less than a month, I will be back home in the United States.

I honestly have mixed feelings over the idea of going home. Although I absolutely love it over here and truly love the culture and liveliness… I miss so much back home that now my mind somewhat focuses more on that.

In the past 3 weeks, I have stayed in Paris and have not traveled. At the end of October, I travelled to 5 cities in 5 different countries in 10 days. It was such a cool experience but man it was so exhausting. My friends and I decided that for most of November, we would stay in Paris so that we could explore the city that the entire time we intended to learn the most about.

But, being stuck in one place for awhile sometimes gets a little, I wouldn’t say boring, but steady. As well, being here, I do not have much school and sometimes truly run out of things to do. I also just feel like I do not have much of a purpose.

I miss queso, I miss my friends, I miss always having the confidence to walk into a restaurant or store and know that I will be able to speak to the person working there. Overall, I just miss home.

Especially with the fact that Thanksgiving is this Thursday, I am really missing home and my family. I see on people’s Snapchat and Instagram pictures of them with their families and with their animals and just being back in their hometown and I am soooo jealous.

I am sure that once Thanksgiving passes I will be back on track, focusing on living the most out of the remaining days I have here in Paris, but I am definitely starting to get more and more ready to come home.
