Some of you may remember about a year ago I said I was off to do my placement year, as part of my university course. Well, it's finished, and I'm now home.
Thing is, I think my head is about to explode - I don't know whether to be happy or sad. On downside:
1. I made loads of good friends in Surrey, and now I miss them.
2. I've got loads to unpack. I hate unpacking.
3. My house is empty. Our dog died the other week and my parents have just gone away on holiday. I'm rattling round the house by myself as my mates all work during the day.
4. I was in Surrey for almost exactly 12 months. Literally 12 hours before I was due to leave, and I s##t you not, it was almost to the minute, I meet someone I really really get on with. Only I won't see her for ages as I'm now back in Essex.
Reasons to be happy:
1. I'm home.
2. On Saturday night I met someone I really really get on with. Hopefully I'll meet up with her again in the next couple of weeks.
3. My parents have gone on holiday. Party on saturday night!
So, I don't know whether to smile or cry. That probably sounds like complete gash, but so much has happened in the last 12 months it's untrue. I've changed, grown up.
I don't know whether that's good or bad. I want to still be a kid again with no responsibilities. Life is more fun that way, but less rewarding. Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself again.
Ah well, off to get the marker pen and a blank piece of paper...

It's odd, isn't it?
I lived in Canada for seven months, and going home then was really full of mixed emotions, as I knew I'd never see many of the people I made friends with ever again, but then there were so many reasons to go home too.
We all change, but you can't let go of the fun you used to have, and getting older certainly doesn't mean kissing by to all the good times - yeah there are responsibilites and stuff, you just can't get weighed down in them.

Go on YH, write on that paper. Write it now.
I like home. {:) But I haven't experienced what you have so I can't really understand.
Don't let your head explode though, that would mean the whole last year would have been a waste of time.

Wherabouts in Surrey were you?
And homecomings should always be met wit a smile. I love going home to my parents place. Reminds me of years gone by. Swim in the memories you've gone back to. Love it.
