8/25/13
Today has been a truly exhausting day. The lack of sleep is finally catching up to me. It is about 8 pm and all the kids are watching a popular polish comedy movie downstairs but I am laying in my bed already. After polish lessons I went to take a nap for a total of 1 hour. I keep getting upset and being unable to think properly because I lack a good amount of sleep. I also dramatically get irritated by little things that I would normally never get mad about. A little bit of music while I write and a good night rest is definitely going to do my body justice.
These days are starting to feel like years as they pass. Ashley (ME) is my roommate, super beyond sweet, and she is helping me get through these rough days of homesickness. She said for the first few weeks that the days feel like years but when April finally rolls around, the months will feel like days. I know this is sad to say but sometimes I can’t wait for my exchange to zip by. It would be nice to hug my mom and dad right now. My exchange should be better once I make friends in Lublin and become closer to my host family. I already texted my host dad calling him Dad! My host sister doesn’t seem too bad over an email, I hope we hit it off once we meet in person.
I should try to go to sleep before all the exchanges students come up and make a bunch of noise. Kind of sad but sleep is going to make me feel a lot better about this exchange. Plus sleep makes the days go by faster!
