I've been home for a week and it feels good. As the days go slowly by, I find myself missing my international, including Canadian (in fact, we are all international), friends more and more. It's not nearly as fun being surrounded by only Norwegians (no offense). On the other hand, I now know how lucky I am to have the family and friends I have. When you live away, you become aware of all these beautiful parts of your life, which you normally take for granted. As you return, you learn to be more grateful. For instance, you expect your parents to cook you dinner every day, be your private taxi driver and buy the groceries you want. Do you say thank you every time your parent drop you off, do your laundry, put your plate in the dishwasher or change your bed sheets? Point is, after being in Canada for 10 months, I realized that I should be more grateful to my family. I often view what they do as their duty, and forget to show appreciation.
