3 more months ;/

My Mum called me the beginning of this week to tell me that the tickets were booked for my flight going back home to New Zealand and for her visit to Ohio.
On Wednesday 30th November, my Mum arrives in Cleveland airport at 6:15am, she will have the chance to meet all my family and friends here and see where i've been growing up for the past year :) I leave with my Mum Friday 9th December 4.45pm, arriving in Wellington Sunday 11th December at 1pm. I got kinda emotional and upset, just hearing from my Mum that she really was going to see me here in December, i miss her so much and can't believe how much i've got through without her being right there next to me. I got thinking a lot about home, leaving the family and friends i made here and the thought of actually being back to where it all began!! For me, it was hard to hear all of this.. i'd been waiting so long to find out the date i'd be leaving America with my Mum, i actually wasn't sure if she really would be visiting after all the drama we'd gone through to be allowed to make separate flights from the EF program. Just happened to be the first day of school the next day..

So I wore my church looking outfit while Julia had her.. hmm how should i put it ;) well mature looking outfit haha. First week of school went pretty well. I was informed that first day of school is ALWAYS a very big deal. I've got government, american studies and economics all in the same semester so yeah, i'm not too excited about that.

If anything, right now.. i'm really missing home. I love what i have hear but it's the hardest thing in the world to be away from where you belong. As wonderful as this american life is, i know it's not forever, it's not permanent and it's not where i'm supposed to stay. I just can't wait to be with everyone again.
i love you guys :') xox
