I can’t really think about it. It’s way, way too hard to actually understand what I’m feeling. But I am so excited to go home, to see my family, and get ready to leave for college. This year has challenged me in ways that I did not anticipate, and did not challenge me in certain…Read more 10 days left
Something about moving to a new country and living with a host family puts a lot of weight on you. You want to try new things, and even when you’ve tried it all you can’t exactly refuse to eat the piles of food you’re given. And although some people join sports through their school or maybe…Read more Health and Hiking
(it already is May, and in fact, May 1st was probably the best day of my exchange thus far) May 1st is a nonworking day (Labor Day) in Macedonia, so my host family took the opportunity to host a FUN GET-TOGETHER for friends at the weekend house. Food, live band, lots of seating, some activities…Read more It’s Gonna be May
I’m not going to focus on that ^ Instead, this is what is important – spring has come! There were a few days when it went directly from to winter to summer, but then the weather remembered how it’s all supposed to go and turned back into spring.

…and February, which is supposed to be the coldest month of the year, has opened with unreasonably warm weather – warm being relative, of course. Warm weather and fresh air from rain feels so, so promising, and I’m inspired to take hold of my exchange and make it worthwhile in the way that I feel is…Read more January’s Over…
January is famously hard for exchange students, and that’s hit me in the past week or so. It was tied to the stress of having actual finals, rather than “show up and don’t do anything because the tests are in a different language” finals, because I go to a rigorous English-speaking school modeled after the…Read more First Post of 2015 – 24 Days In
