The little things

Okay, so my head is beginning to wander. And since you're reading this then please enjoy the random thoughts dealing with exchange student struggles.

I am coming to the last time when I must switch families.
Some poeple may think "ah you've done it once, you can do it again."
Yes, I can. But I have to go in with no expectations- which is the hardest thing one must do

I am going to be honest. I do not want to switch. And it is not because the next family is bad or anything, to be true, I don't even know them yet. They seem lovely from all I know.

The hard part is- getting knocked off your feet again.

When I came here it was hard. I didn't know anything. I was naive. I had to find my ground.

Then I switched to my second and current. It was rough at first because I didn't have my footing- problems like where do I find new sheets and what time is an appropriate curfew, were all new struggles. I had to adapt with the family.

This is such a great thing I learned here is- to adapt. To be flexible. You have to be willing to change. When you change, you learn.

I am so lucky to say that now I have two wonderful families here which love me so greatly. And I love them.

So now, right when I get settled in and comfortable. Everything works great. I must switch again. This is hard but its good. I am going to learn to adapt again. And because of that, I will gain new experiences.


So yes. I under stand the logic.

But damn. I know I will be exhausted. I know theses things will happen.

It is so difficult to find out the little things.
The most important things


All in all. I am excited to go meet this family in the coming week

But I am terrified to leave home again.
