Difficulties I have overcome

13^th October 2017

Friday

Good day! It is my third week in Liverpool now. I am finding it a little difficult to cope with different things around me, such as the weather, new people, and also being away from my family, which seems to be the most difficult.

First I will start with the weather, it is too windy here in Liverpool and the weather is different almost everyday. Sometimes it is rainy and other times the sun is out. I prefer sun to rain here in Liverpool. Despite that back in my home country, which is Qatar, I could say we only have two seasons, which are summer and winter. It does not rain much often, maybe just around three to four times a year. In addition to that I am used to extreme heat and humidity that is why I like cool sunny weather. Anyways I am trying to cope with the weather by checking the weather forecast every morning, so that the rain does not surprise me in a sudden.

The other thing I want to mention is being away from my family, I spent the majority of my time around my family, and being there with them makes me happy. Therefore moving away from something your strongly attached to or something you consider as part of your daily routine, is very difficult. However I am trying to overcome this, by getting to know people around me and spending my time with them. And now I have friends, and I consider them as my second family.
