I am so homesick right now. I just want to go home. I miss my friends, I miss my dog, I miss my house, I miss my bed. I just want to cry right now. I want to practice right now but I can't because I neglected a book for college all summer and I have to have 102 pages read by tomorrow. I just want to go home. Why oh why did I have to choose a school so far away from all that I knew.

Oh it's so hard. I remember being homesick, too. When my parents left me at school, I realized that the only people I knew for a thousand miles had just walked out the door! The first days are the hardest, I think. Then I began to meet people and enjoy the benefits of independence. Hang in there!

Thanks Laurie, while I was at dinner tonight I actually felt at home there. It was a strange feeling, but I didn't feel akward or out of place. I felt like I belonged here.
