Here's a message from my mom. I love that these are still on the web! I thought they would've been lost by now.

This is my message I put. They actually made me change it because I was being a bit depressive originally. I think I wrote something like "I want to go home" or something like that. Obviously that wouldn't be nice to look back at, but this message still was true. It wasn't really a "great" time, I was severely home sick, but I was doing better Tuesday night. The real turn around was Thursday morning, I felt so much better.

And here is the last message I have. It's my mom talking, then me, then my dad. Wow she still says lots like jelly tots! Times haven't changed really lol. But yes, it was great being able to message her and dad here.

If you don't know, I was just severely homesick and I was actually extremely uncomfortable being this far from home. It was almost traumatising, even though it was meant to be a nice trip away to do some fun stuff. And yes, the activities were really awesome. Like cave exploring? That is epic. And there was a climbing thing too, and climbing a river as well, it was all genuinely really fun. I was just handicapped by my stupid brain with being homesick. I don't wanna say it "ruined" the trip, because it didn't. It made it very difficult, but I'm very glad I went, it was a crazy experience.

I remember when we went cave exploring. I don't know why I did this, but we all stopped to listen to the cave sounds, and I made a very faint whistling sound with my mouth. I can still make the sound today, don't know how. But I wish I hadn't. I was half making fun of the situation which I regret. But, it was still quite surreal after going quiet and hearing the cave sounds.
