Reflection

I have found it quite difficult coming back to work after being away for so long, especially as Holly is still away on her holiday. It is strange being on my own at the hostel after being with such good friends for the last 10 weeks! But I just have to get on with it and keep myself busy at work. It's only six weeks until I fly home! I do feel like I've hit a point where I'm almost ready to come home. India is an amazing country and I really love it here, but it's so exhausting. You have to be on good form every day in order to tackle it and if you're not it just swallows you up. It is so full on all the time and there is no escaping that when you need space to breathe. I have had so many days when I just want to build a wall between me and India because I just can't be bothered with any of it. But I've also had some incredible days, some of the best in my life. And although I feel completely drained, it's not a bad thing because I know I have used up all my energy doing something truly amazing that I will never forget.

So now it's time to get my head down and finish up all the work I have been doing this year. I want to enjoy the next six weeks and try not to focus on going home too much, but I also know that when the time comes I will be ready.
