I’ve begun to recognise in myself a familiar pattern – it won’t surprise those of you who are or have been international students. After about 1 month, when the ‘honeymoon phase’ of newness and novelty has worn off… there’s a downward turn in emotions, missing home, etc.
I’m moving slowly into the longer-term, settled-in stage now (while at the same time sadly aware of my impending departure date – mid-August!).
I’ve just downloaded some photos from a camera (donated by Robyn & family – thank you!) and found several pictures of ‘cute things’ here, just part of the reason that I do, most of the time, really love being here. [I couldn't get the chameleon & puppy to upload - later, now's bedtime!]
Kids like this greet me every morning with 'how are you! how are you! shouted repeatedly across vast distances... the joy that my presence is positively contagious, I catch myself grinning broadly as I walk to the main road in the morning.
