Homesick

So the other day I had to write a paper for one of my classes, I know what you are thinking “Aren’t you abroad?”, yeah, but sadly enough we still have to write papers. Anyways, so as I seldom do while writing papers, I started procrastinating. Started Facebook stalking friends from back home, looking at US news, thinking about the summer, and I realized that I was homesick. It was a weird feeling, I hardly (already used seldom) ever get homesick in DC, not to say I don’t, cause I do, but not very often. Anyways, I really do miss my family and the United States. I miss hanging out with my friends in GW, running into people in the streets and chatting up about life, or politics. Miss my frat meetings, actually I take that back. I do miss the American culture. I’m out of touch with what is happening in popular culture, no idea which movies are playing, nothing. It’s a weird feeling.

Don’t get me wrong, I love London, it’s one of the best cities in the world, but it isn’t home. I have an expiration date here in London, every friendship I make has an end date (not the friendship, cause nowadays we can stay in communication through facebook and other ways, but I don’t know when I’ll actually see them again). I feel like I have matured here in London and I’m ready to take what I’ve learned and my new perspective on life and apply it to my life in DC. I really can’t wait to be back, but at the same time I don’t want to leave. I guess that’s life.
