i made it. it was a race between my heavy eyelids and the pa border and i won. here in one piece, dog in next room, eating a midnight snack, brother and parents sleeping, so much food, grandparents come tomorrow. still havent gotten used to coming home and not having a horse to play with/schedule around. it's usually the first thing i do when daylight strikes again--go to the barn. he was the topic of my most recent paper for french compositions (we just had to write about an experience, anything at all). i wrote about getting and selling him, it almost made me cry all over again and got me an A and the comment, well written and touching. tear.
it's always amusing switching from home to school and home again. i always refer to the place i just left as home, which bothers my mom (i can see her cringe) when home becomes school. my room always seems so big, the radio/news/general people just dont have that grinding southern twang. the roads arent the greatest and it's a few degrees colder. and for someone who hasnt been keeping any sort of large quantities of food in sight, it's a little overwhelming to have 10 cereals to choose from for breakfast, endless veggies and fruits in the crisper and multi-course dinners planned for and shopped for each and every night. annnnd dear god a dishwasher.
on a sadder note, my puppy is slowly getting gray (where she was my color redhead) and the fam says her hearing is starting to go too. she is 12 :( but she has to live forever. coming home to no puppy bounding out to the driveway to greet me would be so so sad.
oook on to the work i didnt do last night thats due tomorrow. oppppps. but i am home. it's been too long.
