I absolutely LOVE Miami. I never want to leave. It's december and I've yet to go home, and I don't care! I don't want to leave; I like it that much. I didn't know how I would feel being thousands of miles away from home, but to be completely honest, I haven't been homesick once! I spent Thanksgiving without my family for the first time, I haven't seen my brother or my dad or a single friend from home in 4 months, and I really don't mind it. It might sound crazy or kind of rude, and I love my family, but I don't know, I just don't miss them to the point where I need to see them. I talk to them on the phone every once in a while and it's enough. I do miss Cooper though... he probably thinks I abandoned him or something, but I go home in 15 days! Plus I heard that dogs have no conception of time.
I can't wait to see snow and wear warm clothes! haha... even though I'm sure after a few days, I'll have had enough of the cold weather. I'm excited for Christmas and the new year. I'm excited to hang out with all of my friends again! My life is so different now, but it's just the change that I needed. It's like one big adventure all on my own. I started here with nothing; not knowing any people, not knowing the city or how to get around at all; not knowing the culture, the campus; nothing. And I've progressed so much so far! I made a lot of great friends down here, and I love where I'm at right now. I feel so old and mature though! It's weird. But I love experiencing new places. I'm definitely studying abroad next spring; probably London. =]
