I’ve generally never been one to feel homesick. Even when I was abroad in China, I didn’t miss home. I missed my family and closest friends, but I didn’t miss home. To me, there’s a difference.
I got back from Chicago yesterday, and all today I’ve felt like there’s something missing. It’s not like I’m doing anything different in DC, either; I’m still on winter break so I have lots of free time on my hands. The issue isn’t so much what I’m doing (or not doing), it’s the fact that I miss my family. I can’t exactly articulate how I feel, but I know that’s why I feel what I’m feeling right now.
I need something to distract me from this feeling, because I won’t be seeing any of my family till my graduation in May.
