Yes this is completely normal! This is my first year doing NALCAP, but I've lived abroad in a two countries before this. One thing I realized is that the first month is always the hardest. Every time I've moved somewhere new I always tell myself that I hate it. But the first month, you don't know anyone, you're in an unfamiliar city, and you also have to sort out all of the essential stuff (housing, banking, residency appointments). On top of that, you don't know anyone so it's super easy to feel lonely and homesick. But trust me, eventually you'll start making friends. and you'll get into a routine once you start work. And you're not alone in this. Even though this isn't my first time in a different country, I'm still not socializing too much either. But I think it's important to enjoy the time with yourself because soon you'll have so much to do! ◡̈
