Sorry about the long absence!
A few days after my last post I began the process of (trying) to get everything ready for my return to England. Needless to say, it did not go quite as planned. First of all, there was the issue with managing to get any washing done (to be expected at boarding school, there is always a queue at the time you just don't want there to be one), then there was the issue of remembering that I had not finished my Christmas shopping yet as I had planned to, and THEN a couple of days before I was due to leave, I received a message saying that the electricians on the Danish railway had decided that just before Christmas was the perfect time to strike. Brilliant, eh? Cue mad running around trying to find out what was going on, and being told 'Get to the airport. Find somewhere to sleep and get any train you can NOW!'. So there I was, 7am, over 24 hours before my flight, on my way to the airport.
Luckily, there was a lovely lady at the airport (who's name I don't know, otherwise I would mention her personally) who managed to get me onto a flight home that day!
So, that is my explanation for the lack of posts (whilst I was at home I was busy soaking up every second of being at home!). But, I am back at boarding school now. Unfortunately I'm really not enjoying it at the moment. I thought the homesickness I had before I went home for Christmas was going to be the worst it would get. You know, missing home constantly, but able to function pretty normally. Sadly, it seems Christmas did not help. I had an awesome time, don't get me wrong, loved every second, but I really don't want to be back on my own in this room, a day's travel from my parents. So, I know this blog is supposed to be my advice to you guys, but any advice from YOU on coping would be much appreciated. I don't want to waste my time in Denmark, but I really don't know how to enjoy it at the moment.
Thanks!

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear you are suffering from homesickness, it's not nice. The best thing I found was to keep yourself as busy as possible. Try and join clubs, go out with friends, do as much as you can that doesn't leave you in your room missing home etc. If you spend your time focusing on something else you don't really have the time to get homesickness. Also, as i'm sure you already do, skype, text, email and talk to your family when you are down, it sometimes helps :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets better for you xxx
@Carissa Thank you :) I'm going to try and do more activities outside of schoolwork Hopefully swimming and zumba classes (I'm being brave!) will keep me busier! And I do use Skype, but I think I'm going to try and get my parents online more often :) Thanks again, I hope I get to enjoy it too! xxx
ReplyDelete(Holly L) Hope it gets better soon :( Also, active activities mean that your body is tired as well as your brain which helps with any sleep issues (lying awake at night thinking is awful, I know), so swimming and Zumba should be good! I'll try to arrange a visit too, to break up the monotony of being in the same surroundings all the time :D See you soon (I hope) x
ReplyDelete@MissH Love the username! haha but yeah, good point about the exercise, I'm looking forward to when the clubs start! :) you visiting would be awesome! We'll have to skype sometime soon too! Hopefully see you in February! x
