Home, I'm home again

1

So, on Tuesday I flied back home.
My last week in the UK was busy- packing, seeing all my friends, leisure centre. I got an Ipod Nano from work as a pressie for my leaving. I filled in lots of evaluation forms. Had some parties etc
Leaving was hard- on my last day at work I wanted to run to an empty corner and cry there in lots of cases.
It seemed unreal at the same time, that I was going to fly away in the following morning.
I had no sleep, drank lots of wine and then Keith took me to the airport at 4am.
My luggage was pressed tightly together, and there was no extra weight. Impressive :) My flight to Amsterdam was late which resulted in me running to another gate to catch my next plane. Unfortunately my luggage didn't make it that fast and me and about 10 other people didn't get their luggage in Tallinn airport. But, today I got it.
So far Ive managed to find out that fixing my computer is gonna cost me only 70 euros, instead of 250 pounds the man in England told. I've been to the hairdresser, made my contract which is 0,5 placement as a co-inhabitant in the village, saw my friends etc. Still lots to do.
It's freezing in Estonia- I'm probably spoiled by the mild British winter which was average +10. So coming to the -30 degrees is a bit freezing. At least its snowy here :) Me loves that.
And it feels as if I've never been away- everything seems to be the same. Not much has changed...Only the number of the year.
Or well, at least it seems so.
I know that I've changed. I'm not this naive childish co-dependent girl any more. I know a lot more about life and know what I want. I know what's right and what's wrong and I'm not afraid to say anything to anyone anymore.
And it feels good- to know all those things, to have seen lots of things that no one has seen besides me. To have that experience of 1 year abroad. It's lovely.
