Exchange gave me not just an experience… but a home.
So I’m going back soon, however it I don’t feel like I’m leaving. I know I’m leaving, however it just feels like everyday I’m just going keep waking up in America and go about my normal life just as I have done for the past 11 months. It’s funny I remember a similar feeling when I was leaving Australia. However I know when reality kicks in I’m going to miss this place so much. It’s turned into a home, I don’t want to leave. This is the best thing I have done with my life and I will recommend exchange to anyone, but I’ll tell you the one negative about it… you have to come back
Oz Students Abroad 
Hi
This post really reinforces what you said in an earlier post – no way did you intend to stay beyond that first semester – and now you don’t want to come home at all! What a great testament to exchange!
I will be so interested to hear how you cope with being back in Oz – let us know. Are you facing it with trepidation ( like Luke and Tilly about to start their 25 hour bus trip to Prague – check out the photo!) or maybe you are just resigned to leaving now… Do keep blogging and sharing your thoughts on re-entry
