HOME
In my last journal entry, I thought I was going to come home and hate everything about it, and I totally remember that feeling really well. I was so upset about leaving Australia. I thought I found my soul mate, I thought Melbourne was the place for me.
Oddly, since I've been home, I've been pretty detached from those previous feelings. I came home with this new found confidence, and love from so many family and friends so I immediately felt welcome. I am super excited for senior year too - I've made some great friends at UNH that I pretty much can't wait to see again. I don't know, I can't say I miss Australia so heart-achingly bad... and I don't think I'll move back there someday. But I look back on memories from the past 6 months and just smile because it was the best experience ever and basically set me up for my new adult life which has only just begun.
