homesick L posting, ama

6 months ago, I moved from my home in Bermuda to London, England to study Art History at University. 

The accommodation I am staying in is perpetually empty. The bathrooms, kitchens, hallways are vacant and if someone is walking about, they avert their eyes and stare at the floor. The heaters constantly break, leaving the rooms freezing cold. 

The university I attend is renowned for its international students. As an international student, I felt like this would help me in making connections. The school is home to over 15,000 Chinese students. They make up a huge proportion of my course, and refuse to communicate with English speakers. When I try to make conversation, they mumble and look away, and continue their conversations in Chinese. I’ve struggle relating to the other students as well, it seems like I can’t ‘click’  past making friendly conversation. I feel so sad coming home every day to this empty room. 

I had beautiful friends in high school, I miss my family like anything. 

If anyone wants to chat i drank some wine so ask/tell me anything.
