Where do we go from here?

Life is good over here. Did have my first real feeling of homesickness and I think it was because I was changing places to live. Any real uncertainty sends you into a but of overwhelm here, when you don't have your standard security's to rely on. The 'down' time, that is the time when you would normally chat to family or good friends is now time that is free, which allows me to do more which is great.
I feel like my time is limited over here which has me make the most of everything I think, yet I still have to pace myself so i don't get too worn down.
Not sure what else I could be doing. Now that I am working I do have to make sure that I remind myself constantly that it is impermanent and that I am here to travel and write. It would be easy to slip into a routine where I would just work and hang out on weekends. That would simply not be enough for me.
I am definitely going to switch visa's but i am focused on first finishing my contract and then going home for a while to see everyone. I still at times can't believe i am here!
Anyway just some random thoughts on where my head is!
