Firstly, sorry for not posting for a while. I've been busy with work and school and haven't had much motivation to write here either. I've planned everyday to write here, but eventually by the end of the evening I notice that the day is over and I haven't done a new post.
It is nice to be back home. I was welcomed by a nice freeze and some snow which have become a bit milder now. I have seen loads of my friends, still got many to see. Heli, the new EVS, has started to work in the village and is a nice company to me. The village is mostly the same and I felt straightaway as if I had never been away. It's nice.
And school- I have realized I've become a grown-up during my year in the UK- I am more motivated to do my school stuff, pay attention in the lectures. And I spread my homework for the whole semester so that I don't pile it all up.
My English has already gone down a bit, I have difficulties remembering some words sometimes. It might be due to the exhaustion I have as well (not much free time). And even though my English is getting worse again, my Estonian is not getting much better quickly either. I still sometimes think in English and start talking to people or reply them automatically in English, without even noticing it myself.....
Do I miss England? Good question. I don't know. I guess the realization of begin away from there, hasn't hit me yet. I still feel that I can go to the Lodge every day, or to work. The memories compared to my usual trips are different. They are more real. It just came to my mind, that it wasn't a typical trip abroad that later seems to have been a dream. As it was longer, it is all real. A life. To where I could go back again. I remember the smells, the temperature, all the different feelings a lot better. People's accents, their behaviour and typical things they do. When I think of a person, I remember how they exactly were. It's sometimes sad to talk about this year.
Everybody ask me how I enjoyed my EVS - I need time to decide. It is all too fresh. In the beginning when I got home, I was a lot more negative about my job than I am now. I was slightly pissed off by some things connected to my project. Things that were left unnoticed. But as the time goes by, my opinion about my project becomes more objective. So, I guess in half a year's time, I can tell a lot less subjective opinion about my EVS: So it's better not to ask....
Right now all I can say, that my feet are itchy...... I crave to go somewhere, even though I have no time at least until summer. And no money either. I'm gonna buy myself a bicycle soon- in the best hope that it will relieve the itching in my feet (and also for the workout purposes)....
