I started scheming ways to escape from the country, evening going so far as to calculate their success probability.
But unfortunately my attempted escapes were thwarted one by one. I realized I was forever stuck in Italy with an over-zealous mouse, and a madre who seemed set on shoving spaghetti down my esophagus every time I walked by.
Therefore, for the safety of others in situations like mine, Guido and I created an "Educational Diagram" for those experiencing THE 5 DARK & PAINFUL PHASES OF HOMESICKNESS, like I did.
Homesickness: Phase 1: Ecstatacy! One may thing they
have developed wings and start attempting to fly.
have developed wings and start attempting to fly.
Phase 2: Confusion. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Phase 3: Maniacal Depression. One may attempt dangerous escape attempts. (SERIOUSLY--- DON'T JUMP!!)
Phase 4: Hallucinations. These can vary from talking mice to invisioning a bunch of Michael Jackson zombies approaching.
Phase 5: Haven’t actually reached this stage yet… Does it exist?
Here is Guido Antonio’s advice for the day:
“Rendere le zampe la tua casa” [Make your paws your home]
Had the exact same thing when I was an exchange student... didn't get to phase 4 tho
