so like i'm all gung-ho about going back to school, which is totally crazy since i used to love summer and dreaded the thought of returning to the world of homework and school lunches. now though i'm sooo ready to leave my old life and rejoin my college world, or i thought i was.

the other day i was telling my mom when i leave to go back to morehead, down to the exact day and moment even. she got really sad. she and i have always been close, which going far away to school didn't help, but it had to be done. she complains still about me leaving, saying that she's gonna miss me sooo much. that got me thinking.

i love school, but since i live so far away it's not like i can go home all the time. once a semester if i'm a lucky usually. although my mom does make the effort to come see me whenever she has a day off of school, but it's not the same. i want both worlds...i want to be at school, but i want my mom close by so i can go see her and spend time w/ her. and moving my mom down there is outta the question since my dad loves having my far away.

but i am 19 and need to let go of my mom some i imagine, so i'll take school over staying home. but it's a hard trade, most definitely. so two words will describe when i'm feelin homesick....ROAD TRIP!!
