Did your school or study abroad program give you a packet on ways to prepare for the sort of homesickness and adjustment problems you're having? If not, I'll see if I can fish mine out and PM them to you. It's a pretty common phenomenon. I didn't have a huge amount of homesickness during my JYA--but then, I was used to being abroad for longish periods of time, and I went to school so far away from home, so I was kinda used to it.
Like justamom said, this is an amazing opportunity, and the adjustment issues you're having are all very normal--even though it doesn't seem like it.
