Home Sweet Home

I am pleased to announce that I am writing this entry from my very own desk in my very own room in my very own house. :) It's so fun to be home; it's different 'visiting' for the weekend than actually living here. Though, Teagan thought that I was done college already...

So yea, I'm just hanging out this weekend. Going to get together with a few people, maybe, but basically just relaxing, reading my textbooks, and being with my family. It's nice that I'm not, not looking forward to going back. In fact, in a way I kind of am looking forward to heading back on Sun. evening because I'm getting into the swing of things there and am really enjoying my classes. The work load and trying to figure out how to balance things are definitely going to take some work, but I am so glad to be learning so many interesting things already. I'll head back on Monday for about 4 weeks and then I'll be back for Thanksgiving. Woot! Bring on the turkey! (Not right now, though, because I just had a massive home cooked supper from my...yes...father. My mom is at work.)

I do love college. I feel so old and independent. And it's just an exciting stage of life. It's more of feeling bad leaving my family, especially my sister, than being really homesick and missing them. Because honestly, I haven't been homesick since the first Monday there. I'm definitely thankful for the peace at which I've been able to settle into college life. I love classes. I love choir (we've already started preparing for the Cmas musical). I love the people I've met. I love the chapels. And I love life. 

So, I'm off to enjoy a relaxing weekend...trying to actually relax more than read my textbooks. And I'm greatly looking forward to it all.
