The Abroad Hangover

Being back at Wittenberg after a semester in London has definitely been an adjustment. I have found that I now have a lot of down time and I have no idea what to do with myself. London is such an amazing place and there is always something to do, whether it is sight seeing or just hanging out at the local pub. I also literally had no work while I was over there, only a few papers. A test that I had last week was my first test since finals last May. It has also been hard dealing with all of the random drama and bullshit that comes with going to a small school. I feel like if I say something stupid when I am drunk, half the campus will know about it the next morning. I mean it was always there when I left, I guess I am just realizing it now.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Witt. I just feel like it is hard for a lot of people who study abroad to come back and everything is exactly the same as it was when we departed. Being able to travel to places like Munich for Oktoberfest, or Madrid to visit some friends over the weekend was a freedom that I definitely took for granted. 

I have been talking with a few of my friends that also went abroad and they feel pretty much the same way. This is definitely something that I did not expect when I came back to Witt.

After being here for a month I am definitely getting back into the swing of things. My procrastination has gotten a little better (although I do need to do a better job in keeping up with my blog posts) and I have re-solidified the relationships I had here when I left school last May. I am excited for the rest of the semester and I can't wait for it to get warm again. Witt is a blast in the spring!
