Homesick

I'm a little concerned that being home for this break is going to make me homesick once I get back to school. It's kind of funny, because I didn't really expect that I would get homesick. I'm not unhealthily attached to my parents/family, although I do love them a lot and get along with them well. But I worked so hard to be able to go away to school and pay rent and all of that, so I thought that I would just appreciate it so much and have such a great time that I wouldn't really be missing home.

But now, I feel like I'll be so sad when I leave. I only have a few more hours left at home before I have to return to school, and even though I do really appreciate the opportunity and I enjoy my classes and my friends, I am really going to miss my family. I guess that's a good thing though; better to miss them and look forward to the time that we can spend together than not to get along with them and be frustrated that I ever have to come home on breaks. That's a good way of looking at it...

Fall Break!

I'm officially home from school for the next few days on fall break. And boy, am I thankful that Liberty participates in this delightful mini-vacation from school! It's great!

So, I got home yesterday evening, and have been enjoying spending time with my family and eating some delicious home-cooked meals. I also never realized how strange and wonderful it is the first time you come back home after a long break. It's been almost three months since I was last home, which is the longest time I've been away from the area in my life. I didn't realize how much I missed the familiarity of it all until we drove back past my old high school and all of the places I used to take for granted when I lived here. Feels like home to me :)

Stick 'Em Up!

Once again, it's Tuesday, which means time to post some sticky notes all over blogland. You can thank Supah for this delightful idea! It's super fun, you should join in :)

In addition to all of the fun, I only have one class tomorrow and then I'm headed home for a long weekend for fall break! I'm so excited. It feels like it's been forever since I've been home, and I'm definitely looking forward to getting to see my family, friend, and reignite my addiction to Chipotle. Mmmmm

Totally Awkward Tuesdays!

In case you're new here, Tova Darling started Totally Awkward Tuesdays, where we all share are incredibly awkward life stories.

Today's is actually an awkward moment for my lovely boyfriend, which I enjoyed very much, but must have been mortifying for him. We're on a family vacation right now and we invited him to join us. Unfortunately the car ride involved with this family vacation was extremely long, and at some point, he, my mom, and I were all sitting on the back bench of our family's humongous conversion van chatting and somehow the subject of plants came up. My mother was mentioning something about a certain plant and the boyfriend began to make a witty comment about organisms (somehow associated with said plant) and instead it came out "orgasms!" He immediately covered his face, embarrassed as all get out as my mom and I launched into hysterical laughter. It was great! And thankfully I have a very easy going, cool mom who was not offended in the least by the use of the word "orgasm" by her daughter's boyfriend. We're just thankful my dad wasn't within earshot ;).

In other news, as I said before, we're on vacation, and my internet access is limited, so it will be a little while before I'll be able to catch up with all of your TAT stories. It will happen eventually though :) Have a great week!
