Dear Parastoo,
I can fully understand what you're feeling right now and it's quite natural. For Coping with a new atmosphere and for dealing with new experiences and unfamiliar conditions nicely,you just need some more time.
You may feel you're not strong enough at the moment but you will feel stronger at the end. It's like finding another you. The only thing that matters is to stay aware of the natural phases that you're going through in your feelings and thoughts about yourself and others... Well then, you will be fine for sure.
Wish you all the best in the new life :).

Parastoo Joonam,
I had the same feeling.I had wondered what had happened to all my strong spirit. But, now, after one year when I look to the past I smile that I could pass it successfull. It is the feeling that you will have next year. I am sure about it.

hi dear, I dont know what are you studying at university or how long you have been there, but dont worry ,you will get used to your new condition. but its hard.but as an iranian girl you are born to be strong and successful! i have had such experience in canada.I live in Iran right now.you will be fine,just concentrate on your study and try to find good friends. I know some very nice girls in London , if you like you can contact them. wish you luck. bye.

Hi Parastoo, I am glad to see you are back. :) Would you like to tell us what you are studying? I have a friend from Amman who was taking some classes in London until recently. She was also unhappy there sometimes. I think it was partly due to the cloudy weather and short winter days. She feels happier in the sunshine of Jordan. You are also away from home and friends. It can be hard to make new friends in a place where you don't know the social rules. Are there any other Iranian students at you school? If so, maybe they could help you to feel more comfortable in your new surroundings. I hope you will be feeling better soon! There is so much to see and do in London (someday, I would like to go there). I hope that you will have the chance to get out and explore the city. Good luck and take care.

Hey there.
I think you met my husband the other day :) he gave me your link...

I did the same program 2 years ago, and had similar feelings. Studying like crazy, but still never enough, no social life ...2nd term should get much better! You will settle into the academia vibe, and maybe even learn to love moody London skies, like I did. Think of them as a romantic backdrop...and make sure you have a big window to study near :)

Dear Parastoo,
I am finding your blog very helpful and interesting. I understand completely how this first term has been tough for you. Good that you share your thoughts with us, who reed the blog. I have been very stressed out over my own situation, my studies and other practical matters. Today I will write the questions I need to ask for my essay. Talk soon,
Elisabet
