So I’ve recently moved pretty far away from home (approx 9 hours from where I live). I’m doing a summer job for 4 months before heading off to uni. Of course I was nervous about the job, but I honestly thought that homesickness would be the least of my troubles. Well, I’m here now, just said goodbye to my mum & am trying to hold back tears. Honestly I feel like such a kid, and am so embarrassed, but I didn’t think this would hurt so much. I’ve been away from home for long periods of time before, I guess it’s just the fact that I’m *so* faraway, and this job I’ve taken up is in the middle of nowhere. I feel like my current nerves are really due to the fact that this is my first day/night here, I’m hoping I’ll be able to find my feet soon enough. However, anyone have any books to act as a comfort? Many thanks.
