Well
At the risk of being really negative... the best part of my life is over. I've returned home after spending a year in Japan and while I am incredibly happy to be with my family again, I'm really saddened by the fact that soon I will have to go back to university.
I will be in my final year; I'll have exams, reports, assignments, my dissertation to write, I'll have to start teaching again and I'm terrified I forgot how to. I'll be starting everything again. After spending a year in an amazing country, meeting so many wonderful people and seeing them everyday...returning to my mundane university life in England will suck...really suck.
I never really documented online my life in Japan, but it really was one of the best experiences in my life. I was so busy meeting new people and being sociable while at the same time struggling to understand what my teachers were saying to me during the classes that I never for even a second thought about what I would do when the year abroad was over.
Truthfully, I had thought about dropping out of university after an incident that happened in March 2015 that really affected my relationship with the staff in my department. But I've spent 3 years of my life working towards a degree in Teaching English and I have only one more year to go, I know I can do it.
But I worry.
I worry so much.
Sorry if my post wasn't upbeat, but honestly these days I'm not feeling too great. I miss my friends in Japan and I miss my life there. I guess the only thing I can do is try to remain positive and try to focus all my energy on getting my degree.
