Homesickness .....

in this post I would like to write about my feeling after I have spent about 9 months in the UK and now I am preparing my self to go back to my home, to be honest I hope to go back to my country right now.

Now i will tell you about how was my feeling when I came to the UK for the first time. I was very excited; I think because it's a new experience and it's a new place for me so I feel that.

After three months in the Uk ...

I started thinking about my family , friends , home and every thing else .It was the first time to be homesick. I have read a lot about that feeling but I never felt it before. So, I decided to go back in Christmas holiday. I know it's early, it had been just 3 months but I couldn't spend anymore time here.

After I got back here I felt better, then I knew it was a good decision.

Now, after about 8 months ...

I don't know how can I tell you about my feelings. Sometimes I want to leave and go to my country, but when I remember my friends , people I have met, also that places I spent a lot of time in.

It's hard to leave it or forget it. When I said I want to go back home not because I hate this country or I don't like it but actually I miss my family and friends and now Ramadan is coming so I couldn't imagine I will fast outside of my country, I will be very sad and I will miss what what muslims usually do in this month not just religious activities also some nice customs we usually do it in Ramadan .

I am tring to control my self ..

Do you know what I'm thinking about right now ?

I want to go back home and spend 2 weeks there .

Is it OK Samantha??
