Spinning causes sickness even if you have a fixed point

So I've made it through a week of being here in St. John's on my own. My food supply has run low and my health is slowly returning to me after battling with a cold this past week. It was a nice "Welcome back to school gift" from the new germs of the province my body has never been exposed to. Fortunately I made it through and am pushing on through this week, excited about my studies. My Russian prof has climbed his way up the ladder to best prof this semester as I have fallen once again in love with the Russian language. Who thought they could love grammar?! Not me...but I certainly do when it comes to Russian. I believe that passion will only grow more with better health and focus. It also helped that he cancelled today's (Monday) classes so I was able to sleep in this morning and catch up on rest. My body seems to have finally adjusted to the time change and I am finding insomnia becoming my friend once again as well as homesickness. I've traveled enough to know that the first week, two weeks and even month are brutally hard on one's mental health in the fact one will yearn for what they are used to. "What am I doing on the most Easter point of Canada where I don't know a soul?" has been running through my head the past week and as much as I've been able to push it away and ignore it, it crept up on me once again. Confronting the issue and talking it out with a friend has helped me see that I'd be in the same situation no matter where I was at this point. Friends of the past have moved on as well to find other friends and I'm just starting late. I trust that God has put me in the right place after many prayers and I will find a place here. Classes don't seem to be too rough yet, but I imagine once we delve into our studies a bit further I will be slogged down with quite a bit of homework, the worst being the endless essays I seem to have. The thought of adding a fifth class to my schedule has ran through my mind many times this past week, but I've finally decided I'll take this first semester to just settle down and get used to things and find a routine. Still considered a full time student with four courses is enough for me. The weather is still something I'm not used to as it is constantly windy here and freezing one day then hot and humid the next. Clouds seem to pass by much too quickly and low for comfort, but never seem to bring that much rain. The sun's been shining and I thank God for that as I fear I'd be depressed without it at this point in my journey as I attempt to sort through the confusion and foreign world around me. But do not fear! I'm no where near giving up yet and I'm enjoying my time in St. John's so far. Peace.
