Still Alive - somehow...
Well...
the holidays with my bf at his parents was kind of... strange. I enjoyed the time with his Dad's part of the family (they have a big house out in the countryside) but was rather stressed out by his Mama's part (very small house in the city with looooots of animals and a step-dad who never goes out but talks a lot).
We arrived back in Boston only one day before classes started. And I tell you - never ever do that! I was so stressed out after the first week because there was so much to take care of besides classes.
When I came here I wanted to (1) learn Japanese again, (2) have a lot of social life to get to know people and (3) enjoy the semester abroad.
So I took Japanese classes - and canceled them again because they took up too much time and the technique was really bad.
I tried to go to all the social events - and canceled that after 2w because I didn't get enough sleep.
And since my bf is studying about 2h away from me our weekends are really stressful so that I couldn't enjoy my semester.
So far!
Now we have mid-term break. And I hereby promise myself that the next half will be much better!
First of all I (kind of but not really) broke up with my bf. I told him that I'll go back home after this semester and that I don't think our relationship will survive the distance. Although that hurt, I feel much better/ more free now.
I started to plan my career in Europe (but might go to Japan to finally learn Japanese next year).
And I made plans to travel more with my friends here!
Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?! :-D
