I have found that at certain times during the year, I have missed home much more. Thanksgiving was one of those days. I just wanted to be home, have a good meal, and share a relaxing day with my family. Passfield Hall had a Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday; I appreciated the effort, but it was still not the same… Apart from the first week, I have not found myself to be too homesick though – I have been constantly stimulated by the experience of studying abroad and making new friends, which has kept my mind off of home. Oh, and Skype and Facebook are great – you can still feel somewhat in the loop 4000 miles away from home.
