I was thinking bout this at the back seat of James’ car on our way back from Phillip Island yesterday. Exam is coming, but we went for a trip instead! We played mini golf, watched koalas wallabies and pinguins, having dinner at italian restaurant hehehehe bad girl =p
Back to the topic. It takes time to adapt, it takes time to get used to it. My life in Australia… Based on change management, this nature of change is classified as incremental and continuous change (CMIIW- exam next Tuesday!! =p)
Having fun with friends fade away a ‘strange’ feeling bout this place. Jay, my friend at Uni was right. “It’s not where you’re living, but with whom you’re living with..”. Shack has also told me, “You’ve been living in your country for 20 years, we’re staying here for just a short time. It’s probably our only change to come here..”
It’s not just a problem bout homesick. I would say, it only takes about 2months or 1semester at most, to cope with homesick. It’s a time to raise the awareness of our new place, and next, about the way how to settle. Now, I hear trams’ noise a lot. I’m getting used to the cooold weather, drink milk a lot.. hihii.. And I think this last few weeks I hang out quite often with friends. That’s probably the most important aspect that increase my comfort.
It takes time… for a relationship as well. Hiking up the hills, going down to the valley, running arround. Fyuuu.. untung mashi sabar.
OK. Enough for now. Gotta back to studyyyy…. Thanks a lot, friends..!!
