Free Week- Family

One thing I thought I would never admit is that I would be homesick when I went to college. For the months leading up to college I could not have been more excited. I honestly dreamt about the day I would be on my own, making my own decisions, and being in charge of my own schedule. I even applied for summer term because I wanted to get out of my house so bad. I wasn't sick of my family, I just was ready for a change. For the first months it was bliss. Being on my own was a dream come true. I didn't need to tell anyone where I was going or what I was doing. That was the case from June to December. I am here to admit that about mid January I was homesick! I missed being home with my family, I missed California, I missed my house/ bed, and I missed my friends. This week/ weekend was a very unlucky and lucky week for me. I got really sick on Monday and I was supposed to be flying to Portland on Friday to visit my best friend for the weekend. I waited until Wednesday and when I had only gotten worse and the doctor said I would be sick for 10 days, I decided I was going to have to cancel my flight. I was so disappointed but my mom felt bad that I was sick and had to cancel my flight she decided to fly me home for the weekend. So I hobbled along to the airport where I flew home. So I am now sitting at my house sick, but feeling so happy I am here with my family and not in the snow storm in Provo. Being home makes me realize how much I love my family and how I took for granted the love I feel here. I hope when I return back to school after the weekend I will be rejuvenated all rejuvenated and ready to finish the semester. So yes, I was homesick and I love my family.
