- your tired no matter how much sleep you get
- you are confused most of the time
- you make a mistake and learn from it
- you miss home
- you eat more than usual
- sometimes can't sleep at night because you have so much on your mind
- you miss being hugged by your family
- get headaches more often
- feel as if you will never learn the language of your host country
- learn how to mix and match your clothes
- find yourself praying a lot more
- you ask yourself "what the heck am I doing here?"
- eat foods that look like something that should never be consumed
- you have the "deer in the headlights" look mastered
- where "si" "no" or "que" are words that seem to work no matter the situation
- you are immediately friends with other exchange students
- you sleep in school because you are tired all the time
- you miss your bed
- you can be mad and happy all in one day
BUT YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR AN EXCHANGE STUDENT WHEN, DESPITE ALL THOSE THINGS, YOU STILL WAKE UP EVERY MORNING LOVING YOUR LIFE! :)
