So as of this moment I have been in the US of A for 2 months, 2 week, and 5 days! Lets just say its been fun, emotional, boring, challenging, exciting, and a whole array of other things. I've learnt a lot about myself which has surprised me, i've learnt a lot about Americans, and i've learnt a lot about what it's going to take for me to be able to last a year here.
For me coming here I certainly knew that I was here to work, I just don't think I really knew how much I was here to work. I at first was shocked at how much I was asked to do on a daily basis that was outside the set guidelines of the program that I'm with; but now i've learnt that in all honesty I really don't mind doing more and it keeps me busy, I do like to work hard for my money, so doing more makes me feel like I've really earn't it. I also thought coming here that it would be one great big adventure - which it is - but i was thinking more along the lines of traveling. I went to New York at the start of March for the weekend and i've been to Philadelphia a few times, but beside that I haven't felt like i've done anything. I mean i'm not the most spontaneous person and i'm not a big adventure seeker in the way that I could go stay at a backpackers and hang out with people I don't know. I'm just not that sort of person. But I wish that I could just stop over thinking what could happen and just go out there and find ways of meeting new people and have some fun!
One thing I'm super duper excited about it that my sister is coming in five weeks!!!! i'm so flipping excited about this and we are going to go to New York and be great little tourists and I just can't wait.
