The Inevitable

This evening is the first time since I've been here that I've felt really homesick. It's taken me by surprise because I have no reason to. There is nothing I specifically miss about home just that I miss it. So it proves that I have to stay the full month before going home, or I might never come back.
  I realised today that I had taken on an enormous task by becoming a student midwife and you don't normally realise it and understand that until you get here and experience it. Even though the lectures are fairly simple I still can't help thinking that I'm in way over my head at the minute. Who knows how I'm going to feel when the real work starts...

Ps. GG I miss you
