Auslandsaufenthalt verkürzen?
Hallo,
ich bin jetzt bereits schon 5 Wochen in England und hatte anfangs ziemlich stark Heimweh, was jetzt aber besser geworden ist. Dennoch merke ich extrem, wie sehr ich Weihnachten zuhause verbringen will. Ich soll eigentlich bis Ende Januar bleiben, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass ich das nicht schaffe und früher nach Hause will.
Meine Gastfamilie ist echt nett und auch in der Schule komme ich gut zurecht, aber ich habe das sichere Gefühl, dass ich es hier keine weiteren 4 Monate aushalten werde und stattdessen lieber früher nach Hause will. Ich habe das mit meiner besten Freundin und meiner Schwester mehrmals durchgesprochen und bin mir daher nahezu 100 Prozent sicher. Es geht mir dabei vor allem um Weihnachten. Selbst wenn ich nur Weihnachtslieder höre, fange ich fast an zu weinen und auch der Gedanke daran, Weihnachten nicht zuhause zu sein, macht mich unfassbar traurig.
Ist es daher mögich, den Auslandsaufenthalt von 5 Monate (1,5 Terms) auf 3 Monate (1 Term) zu verkürzen?
Danke

You have to discuss this with the institution on which the stay runs.
I understand your Christmas desire, but can tell you from experience that it is a special experience to celebrate Christmas times in another country. I did this and interestingly, it didn’t have so much of “Christmas”, but more of a regional family festival – simply because the customs and processes were different. Just when you live in a host family, this is a unique opportunity. You have celebrated Christmas at home so many times and will do it many times. You may never experience Christmas in England again.
And don’t focus on the homewee, concentrate on the present and the place. You are abroad to make new experiences, to get to know other things. You don’t get that time again and it’s a shame if you can’t let it happen. You miss so much when you’re not in here and now, but with your head constantly on your departure. Time’s too bad for that. You’ll be enough at home. Especially when you get along with the family, it’s worth doing a lot. Especially since they probably have the opportunity to get a few days off and take trips to or other things with you over Christmas and New Year.
Of course your final decision. Would you just like to encourage yourself to consider the whole more positive 🙂
Okay, that’s exactly what I had when I originally decided for the 5 months and thus Christmas in England. But here I noticed how much I miss my family and how important I really care about Christmas. That wasn’t clear to me. And to my host family, I would like to add that they really do a lot with me and see me as a real part of the family and take me on all trips and so.
But I’m just sure that only the 3 months (about 2 months) are better for me, because since I think I’m home for Christmas, I’m much more motivated and more open to the other people.
But thank you for the nice words. :
It’s possible! Speak best with the agency that runs all over and say you want to leave.
I think so. You do it voluntarily, you can’t force yourself to stay.
…take a plane and fly home for 10 days over Christmas.
I wouldn’t do that if I knew I couldn’t just stay home. I just want to end the stay abroad before Christmas.
Well. Then do it.
