Homesickness.

This post addresses the very bane of my existence...
Feeling Homesick. 

(okay.. that was a bit melodramatic...)

But feeling homesick and not being able to afford the money (or time) to go home is 
profoundly annoying!!!

It ebbs and flows. 
It comes and goes. 
But never the less, it's a rotten time for people around me. 

I'm miserable. 
Mostly because it is no longer Winter.
(I'm never homesick for Upstate NY during Winter..)
I am, convientently, homesick during Spring..
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME TO BE IN JAPAN! 
And it is one of my last two here.

Do you see this flower???
[how could I be longing to go back to muddy, rainy NY spring weather?]

*Not that it's been any nicer here...
it's April and I could see my breath today...*
Yikes!

Dear Universe, 
I no longer find it funny. 
Please take my nostalgia away.

p.s. Money should grow on trees.... 
(maybe submit that at the next faculty meeting with Mother Nature)

Love, 
Someone who caught the homesick bug.

  8. That flower looks so pretty! Can you skype with your family? Maybe that would help with feeling homesick.
