   idk.. i've been here 8 months now and i just, love my life here. like it's not one big party or anything, it's just life, but.. i'll be riding on the bus alone and tired but just think GOD life rocks. and aside from my best friend i just don't want to go home.. i don't miss it, i don't miss my school, the ppl there... i'm good here. anyone else feel like that?? i mean.. except when my friend died i never really missed home, but as long as i don't get stuck thinking about her (which obviously makes me miss my friends) i just don't. lol i feel bad but.. blah. ada : )> afs yp argentina now!!

   haha why do you think i go back to visit every 6 months or so? this is also really normal though it affects some people worse than others. returning home is much more difficult than going imo.

   I felt exactly the same way! Coming home sucked so much... Jeje, you should see the post I made about "What if I just didn't get on the plane...?" But hey, you've still got some time. Get out there and make the most of it while you still can! Fuerza! -Rebecca, Paraguay Feb. '06 - Jan. '07

   Hah, yeah. Coming home was one of the most painful experiences of my life. :S I can't imagine it'll be the same when I go back there to visit, and I remember thinking that I never wanted anything to change-that I just wanted to stay there forever. I had the thoughts in the airport, too (like "What if I just drop to the floor and refuse to get up?" or "What if I hid in the bathroom?!" lol, I was so desperate to stay...). I go back for the first time in 20-something months in 18 days, since it's the first time I've been able to afford going back (both money-wise and time-wise, and even now it's really a stretch with the money). It'll sure be weird. But rest assured that life DOES go on after you get back :) Going back to high school blows (I don't know if you have to or not), but after I got to college, things got SO much better. Enjoy your days, though! They go by soooo fast!

   Ive been in latvia for like 7 and a half months now and i agree. I am not ready to leave. Luckily I have like 2 months left but still. Life isnt exciting but my host family is amazing and although it isnt the nicest place in the world I love it here in Daugavpils!!!!! Some people are counting down and excited to be home but i am counting down and thinking "NOOOO...not yet...it is not true!" I remember when i was like "Oh my only 8 more months!"Goodness does time fly!!!! Elysia YP Latvia 06/07

   Yeah, im in Argentina only for one month and i have two or three weeks left and i catch myself thinking about the time i have left here, "My gosh, only 2 weeks left." I don"t know if I want to go home after this. The family is really close and everyone is so... friendly! The food is amazing, people are always joking and having fun, it"s all really awesome. the thought of returning home to school and chores is really depressing. I wish I could stay here much longer.
