I've survived........

Stanley,
in some cases the novelty doesn't wear off, at least the pleasure of doing a job you like doesn't!
In a while you'll know what suits you best, LH or SH, schedule or charter and will be able to make your career choices for the future .
What you should avoid like the plague is to join the "Moaning Club" (it's a very big club, has members throughout the world ). Those people take the joy of flying away from people, and soon you'd be seeing only the bad sides of it. Never lose your focus, always remember what YOU like, especially when something you DON'T like is taking place (4 o'clock RT? Bad destination? Well it's a small price to pay for lying in the sun in MAD. The Purser from Hell? Next one will be better)
When I leave home, of course I am not happy to leave behind my loved ones, but then I switch to "work mode" and soon I'm happy to work for a company I like, to do a job I like and often going to places I like. Surely beats (for me) sitting all day in an office. Remain positive and keep your mind focused on what's important. The day you'll really be fed up with flying or the company you are working for, resign or change company before becoming bitter or checking into the Moaning Club.
I wish you all the fun I've had (and am still having) for your career
