It's been two weeks, TWO WEEKS, and I'm already depressed about the fact that I'm here. It said in the study abroad handbook that this would happen, but I never actually believed it. I mean, I've wanted to go to China for about 4 years now, how could I possibly get depressed? Oh yea, I miss people. I know this is gonna sound stupid, but I haven't been this depressed since I lost my dad. I'm stuck here, I wanna see people (like, oh I dunno, Kari), and I can't. I wanna come home, just for a few days, and I can't. The only break I get is in May (maybe I can come back? I dunno, for a few days, anyone wanna donate to that?). I don't start classes for about a week, so I'm not preoccupied with anything. Until that time comes, I have a question.
For those of you that have traveled away from home for a long period of time, how do you manage to do it? Cause I'm lost.
