Half way

I'm Halfway through my experience here! Which is a good thing and a bad thing. I'm very happy here, and I don't want to go home. But at the same time there is part of me that really misses home, my family, my friends, my cat, my school, 4th of July, reading in english, the food, etc... I miss everything. Even though I'm happy here, and there is no way in hell that I going home early. There is still a part of me that misses the things back home. This past week I've been in sort of a funk. I've been thinking about all of my exchange student friends that are going back to their homes in a week, and are packing, and buying things for family and friends. It's been making me think a lot. A lot about home, and what it will feel like when my day finally comes, which doesn't feel so far away considering this past month (after the switch of families) has gone by so fast. I'm already half way through my experience and before I know it, it will be December and I will be the one thinking about what to get my friends and family, and how to get everything into my one suitcase.
