The past few days haven't been the easiest...

Coming back to the reality of classes and homework after spending an awesome weekend with some of my closest friends in Barcelona, coming down with the flu, and now finally having to time to take a break from all the hurrying and bustling to think, I have become very homesick. It wasn't until now that I realize how much I miss just simple things at home. I always knew they weren't here, but thats just how it was. Now, I realize they're not here and I miss them. Simple things like my own laundry detergent at home, my clothes don't smell right here... I guess this is culture shock? Seems to me that it's coming a bit late. But from what I hear, it gets easier from here... Let's hope so!
