Home sweet home & some thoughts

Hy all!

I cant believe but I am actually back at home!!!! Incredible ! THis first semester just flew by. I am sitting in my bed now , looking at my room , looking the same as it looked when I left it. Its like I have never been gone (well only my cat has become pretty fat :D ) ..
This is truly amazing. Just to see how your life can change in couple of hours , how can people change their location in couple of hours !! .... :D  ye I guess I am a bit overwhelmed with homecoming, but all I want to say is that even after this short experience, I can say that ANYTHING really IS possible!! And now I believe it more that ever.

Of course this is only the beginning and I cant wait to experience and live the rest of it! Next years is gonna be longer , though. but it sounds even more interesting as well :)

Ok so I am back at home , but what can I say when looking back at the experience of the last 3 months? Well here are couple of points/thoughts that came from this experience!

1. Nothing is impossible - nowadays you can do anything and do it anyway you want! Thats the wonder of our century! ( and I a not talking only about myself, out there I met a lot , I mean a lot , of people from all around the world, and they ALL are doing what they love, and want! and that is truly wonderful!)

2. Studying abroad is not that hard!!! when I went I was more scared than ever, but at the moment I entered the plane ,all my fears disappeared, maybe because I felt that I am doing the right thing or maybe just because of the excitement, but all I know is that , this feeling helped me get through all the obstacles that came my way , and all the feelings I felt (all the language and homesickness crap ) that tried to ruin my staying over there.

3. Meeting new people is fun!!!!!  not much to say about this :D , last time I met somebody new before going to UK , was probably at the start of 10th grade :D  .. In these 3 months I have met and memorized more people and their names than in my entire mmmm... life?.. no that's probably exaggerated ... well no actually, probably its not :D , it may be true.. at least its very close. :) anyway , you got the idea

4.People are people no matter where they come from or how old they are!!!! of course I never really doubted that :D , but still ,just saying that , usually people like to expect different things from people with different backgrounds and ages and be all stereotypical about races and stuff, but at the end it all comes down to the same things.. We all are humans and we all think and act and doubt and fear and laugh and cry and get shy and get lazy and gossip and smile!!! so nobody is alone!!! never , you are never alone! No matter where in the world you are!! and you can find people just like you even in the imaginable places!! So just an encouragement, we are never truly alone, just dare to ask, talk and see!

5. I LOVE Latvia , Riga , Jurmala and everything in it! I think I just appreciate the knowing that I know where everything is and its impossible to get lost , because it is so small :P  !
But seriously , despite the awful weather here , I really missed my country , the trains, the train stations the school ,the statue of liberty , my home , obviously, the sea( I  still miss ,it darn, haven't gone to it yet- ok first thing in the morning to do!)  It is warm feeling when you feel like the whole city is your home! because I really feel like it is! it is! that's what is awesome about smaller cities - they are more personal, you get to know them and they turn into your personal city , personal hometown! Love it!....  And I love the water! the rivers Daugava and Lielupe mmm, stood at the shore of it today , and just felt the water waving firmly in front of me, the dark dark water ... brr  gave me shudders- it was cold and drizzling and crap... but still , I loved it :)...
P.S. London is just way  tooooo big and diverse , it doesn't have one character! :D

6. Latvians are truly everywhere !!!!! They are, I met so many latvians there, and I heard about so many latvians, that it is no suprise that the country is really worried about them , and that the statistic show that almost 250 000 people left latvia in the past 10 years ... not it seems legit! Its just that cmon Hertfordshire is not the most talked about(to say the least) universities , when talking about studying in UK, but still there are a lot , a  lot of Latvians there , so just imagine how many of them are there in other Universities, like Glasgow and Manchester? One good thing( not that I think the other is bad , but this just sounds good) though, is that they seem to be dating and marrying other Latvians :D ... So they are expending our nationality within other countries :D eventually the number of people leaving country doesn't matter, because that doesn't mean they just disappear , no they just MOVE , and they actually are spreading the word Latvia and Latvians all around the world , and as I mentioned they stick to each other ! :)

7. Self-discipline is the hardest thing ever! :D that's why we have Moms and Dads :P . But seriously one thing worth learning before starting to live alone, is self-discipline . And that is extremely high valuable personality trait...  I sincerely look up to all those people who actually have a strong self discipline.... In case you wonder, I am talking about - regime -going to bed in time-waking up in time , doing homeworks in time, doing homeworks, learning extra, pushing yourself to do unwanted, making yourself a meal when you are tired and don't want to spend time on that and so forth ... :D ... just a true story, self discipline is not a students best friend :D

ok seven points is going to be enough for now... I gonna add more if I remember, i am just very sleepy now :D , and cant remember other points, but I am sure there were/are more !
