It's been nearly 6 months since i finished my Erasmus place ment, the end of it tailing away into somewhat of anti-climax of emotions, sadness at having to leave a place which had been home for nearly a year and the eagerness to return to normality. Not all quite went to plan, my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer not long after i came back, which was another spanner in the works, but after the initial shock, it has helped us all become more ponderous and thoughtful, although it is something that you would never wish on even the worstest of enemies!
Having now settled back in at the University of Leicester, preparing to work hard for my final year, I've reminisced more about Turkey than ever, especially with preparing for the International fair. I guess i never had the opportunity to think about, miss, evaluate or feel nostalgic about my time in Turkey, may not have been long enough, or it may have just got swept aside by a whirlwind of sorrow and troubles. Looking back, it was a fantastic experience, great opportunity, to live, feel and love another culture and of course, I'd do it all over again! I'd like to think i'd do certain things differently but i'm not so sure I actually would. There were times when I cursed the place but at the end of the day, it will always have a place in my heart. It's funny, never thought i'd really miss it, weird how things come full circle.
