Home

I decided to write this last week's blog on sunday even though it was supposed to be for last week. This is because I waited until my entire experience of going home for the first time was over, including the trip back. I was very nervous and excited to go home for the first time. I was nervous because I would be making the drive alone, and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel when I got back home. After visiting my roomate's hometown, I saw that it wasn't exactly what he thought it was going to be like because things are really different now. I was worried about how I would feel about being home even though I was really excited to go back. The drive was no problem, which was very comforting because I know I can make it back whenever I need or want to. So I could check one worry off my list, but there was still one more. After taking sometime to think about how I felt, I realized I was in a good place in the way I was feeling. I loved being home. It was really nice to be back in my own house and see my family. I got to sleep in my own bed and eat home-cooked food, plus I also got to see some of friends. I got to go to a football game and see a band competition, which was really fun even though it was cold and rainy. But I also realized that I missed Wartburg too. I missed the friends that I have made here, and I even kind of missed my room a little bit. So I thought to myself that it was a great position to be in because I wouldn't really be that sad when I had to go back, and I would always be excited to go back home too. It was a huge relief knowing that I would be ok with whereever I was at, and I could cross the other worry off my list. Now I'm ready to start another week, and I'm already going back home next weekend for a wedding. I get to see one of my best friends, and I'm really excited for that. Hopefully it's a good week and another fun weekend!
