Change of Heart

Since I've been here, I've endulged myself with 5 different novels. BIG novels, I'd like to add. I never read this much at home, but I do read a lot now that I'm here. Being as how I can't speak in English or watch a movie in English, I'd like to be able to read in English. Sure, I read in French at school and I have a few small books at home that I try to decipher, but I could never tackle anything in French like I am now in English. At least not yet. One of my aspirations is to be able to once I'm back home. I've been here for over a month, now, and it's so strange. I've never been away from home longer than a month, so I'm starting to think the homesickness is really going to kick in. Or maybe it won't because of how used to my new home I am. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll have a terrific year. Some days I wish I could stay here forever, but some days I wish I could come back sooner. It's all about the change of heart and how it affects us.
