it seems as though my days here have merged into one - it seemed like yesterday when i first arrived here, fresh faced and homesick.

but now, i have a longing to cling onto to whatever fond memories i have of this lovely place. exchange is such a strange experience - i found myself plucked out of the comfort zone i have been living in for 21 years to survive for myself in a strange and foreign place, and yet when i have finally gotten used to the rhythm of life here, i have to say goodbye to the people that i have met, some whom i will probably never see again, to go back home where everything has changed.

it's too surreal for me.
