Its been almost 5 months since I've left Canada. Its been so long since I've stood on Canadian grounds, but I still think about it every day. Some weeks I'm happy to be back with my family and my usual friends, but sometimes I miss my Canadian life more than ever.
It will be Christmas soon, and I'm missing the Canadian Christmas spirit so so much!! Our Christmas days in highschool where we dressed up in our "ugly Christmas sweaters" or the last day before winter vacation, where we all came to school in our pajamas and onesies were some of my favourite days on my exchange. There was always something going on at Myer, not like in my Austrian school. We don't have that kind of school spirit here, or days where we dress up, or Coffeehouse, or dances. I miss these things a lot.
I've been so busy with school work the past months, because in Austria we have exams every week throughout the whole year. It's been so hard to keep in touch with everyone i love, because they are everywhere around the world and there hasn't passed a day when I haven't missed them.
I'm still trying to adapt back at home, trying to find my place and deciding on what to do with my life. Things are getting pretty serious now- Ill be done with school soon and need to decide on what to do next. My year in Canada feels like it has been a dream, a place where I was carefree and happy. Not that I'm not happy now, I really am, but some things have changed during the year I left and I have to get used to that.
I really hope I can return to Canada soon, to see my friends and "family", to speak some real American English again and remember my best days on my exchange. I really miss every single one of you and I'm waiting to come back and visit as soon as possible.
