But who is counting right? Just for the record, I am not homesick even though my excitement to come home suggests otherwise. Let me explain.
First of all, I love Paris and France and my friends here, and my host family especially my girls, and I will be a mess when I have to leave all of the above. However, you can grow tired of any place if you've been there long enough. Though I still catch my breath whenever the Eiffel Tower comes into view, and it still amazes me that I am actually living here. I am ready for the next chapter in my life, especially now that I know what I am going to do come September. Plus, looking after other people's children all the time gets really tiring and old. I'm ready to be a normal college student, to rent my own place, to be able to hang out on the couch in my pyjamas, to not have to leave the house to be with friends.
So I am not homesick, I'm just ready to come home.
