Stick A Fork In It
Year one is officially done!
It feels good to be celebrating twelve months here. My dream was always to live abroad for just that amount of time and then return home.
I can remember how much I didn't want to hear it when my living abroad advisor pointed out that many people get to the end of year one and up deciding they want to stay longer. They realize one year is too short for their experience.
Often, that amount of time ends up being just enough to learn the language, figure out how to exist in the new land, and start hitting a comfortable stride in general. Then after all the hard work, a calendar year has already flown by with no time to really enjoy the fruit of so much effort.
All that makes sense to me in a different way now. I can't imagine going back home after just one year.
