It is now the half-way point of my experience of living in Denmark. We just celebrated New Years and will be leaving exactly on the 26th of June. In a way, I'm excited about going back, I mean to my family, friends, hopefully the same school, and my "normal" life. At the same time, I am dreading it. I got to know my Danish family much better. I met new friends. I met the other side of me. I will really miss my family and friends here and also have a hard time changing the way I live, my daily routine, once again.
I have learned another language, and learned a different culture, but my math, and science as well as my new subjects in an American middle school will not be as shiny. I sometimes worry about how I'll do, but my mom always reminds me that it is the future of 6 months and I am in the present of today.
To sum up, I would just like to say, deep breath, and calm down. Everything will go fine and as long as I believe in myself and my family, everything will go great...
One day at a time... I am feeling somewhat the same way, yesterday I was halfway in my pregnancy, so by the time you guys get home there will be a new little baby boy here! Anticipation and worrying about the future are so normal but so hard too. Can't wait to see you guys soon!
ReplyDeleteSo many exciting things to countdown towards. Everything will be great, Danya! And the best part...you will always carry this year with you. I know that my 13 months in Italy changed me forever; it made me the person that I am today and makes me smile whenever I think of the people that I met there. Deep breaths.
ReplyDeleteDanya, you are really blossoming right before our eyes. You sound so mature and grounded. Your last sentence there just about sums it all up. This has been a positive experience for you and that is wonderful. I'm proud of you for the young lady you are becoming.
