Missing Out
Written on October 28th, 2008 at 10:41 am by Beth Ann Whitmore.So I went home three weekends ago for the first time since I got here, which was in the beginning of August. It was rather sad, I didn’t really want to leave, but I had to get things finalized (or actually, just really start figuring things out) for my field period, which I’m doing January.
Not only did I miss hanging out with my amazing Keuka friends, but I also missed out on the Breast Cancer Walk, which I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. Also, there was a leadership conference that I was invited to. I was pretty upset about that, but I guess it’s just a sacrifice you need to make to go home.
But I learned it’s just easier to stay on campus and I just won’t go home again until December, after finals. Thankfully I have awesome roommates that want to take me home. Not that it’s really that hard, you’ll find that most people are anxious to take you home to meet their families, as I’m sure you probably are too. Just about everyone you meet will have a little niece, younger sibling, or animal they want you to experience. So it’s rather easy to not go home for a whole semester, but just make sure if you do pick this route, you call your home loves and tell them how much you love them at least once a week. Parents like to hear that mushy stuff.
