I love studying abroad but...

Okay so don't get me wrong I love studying abroad. It is so great. I am learning a ton of new Spanish. I can see my speaking and reading skills becoming better. I have met some many wonderful people. I have tried new things. heck yesterday I went to a concert of Flamenco dancing and this weekend I am going to Andaulcia. This is probably one of the greatest experiences of my life (just above going to alaska) but sometimes it can be really hard. I get stressed out about money and speaking in another language. Also I really miss my family. Especially since this year I never spent much time at home. I don't regret taking a spring class but it just makes this a little harder because I never get to see much of my family anymore so going 7 weeks with out them is hard...even though I know I can do it and I am independent...there are days when I miss them a lot. I love this whole trip though and the majority of the time I am enjoying myself. I just feel bad when I get home sick.
