Amazing haiku – the epidermal pee line is a classic (in terms of humor) and the gazing at the sky one is a classic period. Brilliant.

FWIW, Korie, can you put off your program a year or even a semester and continue with intensive language study? Maybe trade a retired Dutch teacher/professor for English lessons or something similar? Then attack the program when you’re ready? Then you can have your life in Belgium, your beloved CB and your dreams? You’re still young. Really. I just mean in terms of getting it all done.

Enormous, ginormous hugs to you. BTW… I left you some bling – don’t remember if you saw it. (That’s my feeble mind at work).

Living on the other side of the world, in a new culture, away from family and friends can be very tough, even though you get to do, see, meet fantastic new people/places/activities.

Combined with studying pressure, it can seem too much sometimes. I studied with a Bulgarian at UG who succeeded after taking the language lessons though. So it is possible, just go for it!

I love the haiku! And while I love the first two for introducing me to skinpee, the last three are exceptional.

You’re an incredibly brave girl to move to another country and make a life there. You may feel as if you’re struggling right now, but you seem like the kind of person that will push through and come out on the other side stronger.

Thanks so much for entering my contest!

First—-> (((hug)))

Second–> You have chosen something worth going for. Don’t let failure scare you…one of the rules for success is failing multiple times but going on anyway. Your going to fall, but do you have the courage to pick yourself up? I didn’t, not really, and I will regret it the rest of my life…putting off for fear what I should have done first…

Any way…the depression thing…gad. It is evil, isn’t it? Most of your battle is beating this thing that is physical!

Nothing worth having is worth getting easy. You’ll appreciate this more and more. Stick with it. You’ve been doing so good!

First of all – thank you for your comment on my blog today

Secondly – don’t give up! You are so strong to pick up and move to another country – I know, been there, done that! You however have a challenge than I do in so far as at least they speak my language here in the US!

There’s a common Irish saying ‘What’s for you won’t go by you’ – you’ll find a way!

It’s gonna be tough, but you’ll make it.
So what if it takes ONE year longer than you anticipated?
What is ONE year in a lifetime Korie?
You have the love of your life right beside you.
THAT is the most important of all!
