The last few days I haven’t been blogging much. Reason: I am feeling VERY homesick. I’ve been counting down the days until I fly back to my home country (still 66 days to go to be exact) and it’s just taking way too long. Last week there was a family reunion and I wish I could have been there. I haven’t seen lots of my cousins and even some aunties and uncles for years. My mom took lots of pictures so at least I could see them, but pictures aren’t the same as meeting them in person.

Anyway, I don’t think I’ve ever been this homesick in the last 3,5 years. When I had my dad on the phone a few days back I was crying my eyes out like a little baby. I am evening listening to lots of Dutch music which is kind of unusual for me as I prefer music in English. I am even reading Dutch magazines that are over a year old just so I can read in my first language. It’s pretty pathetic in my opinion. I need to snap out of it. Sitting here feeling sorry for myself is not going to change a thing. If only I could ‘get away’ for awhile.Orlando vacations or any other vacation would be just fine. Just to keep my mind occupied for awhile.

Are there any other immigrants in the blogosphere who can tell me how they handle feeling homesick?
