It's funny the things you realize as you grow older and are away from those you love. This adventure is Korea is definitely going to be a worthwhile experience, but at the same time I wonder why I decided to leave when I had such an amazing support group at home. Now I am here in a foreign country with one friend.
Des and I went running this morning and when I got home I decided to put on some tunes and do a little workout in my apartment. Well, midworkout a song came on that my best friend Jenny and I had been listening to alot this summer. The next thing I knew I was sitting on my floor in tears missing all the people who know me so well. I know this will happen when I'm here, but I am worried that I won't make any friends here that I will consider my best friends. It's hard because right now I can't even talk to anyone from back home so I am so isolated.
There's nothing to do except pick myself up and keep on going. I know things will get easier here and a year will fly by and I'll be back home with everyone I know and love. Until then I keep telling myself to make the best of this situation and try to get as much out of this opportunity as I can.
To grow and to learn.
Don't forget that you didn't have friends when you went to Fredericton either. You will never forget this experience.
