My feelings displayed on a chart. How strange.

The famous W-curve (or U-curve) of cultural adaptation.  It is really normal and common for people to go through different stages of adaptation and for you to be homesick or frustrated at times and feel really triumphant or happy at others.  Talk to someone if you feel like your ups and downs are too high or too low, but know that this sort of excitement and frustration is normal!
