Leaving Home

I would have to say that leaving home has been really hard for me. I actually came up here for the Summer to attend Summer school here and I did the whole goodbye thing. Leaving this August has been harder than that though. People say it should have been easier but in the Summer I knew I would be going back home within a month whereas now I won'y get to go home for a while. Being on the women's basketball team here means sacrificing alot and I won't get to go home for Thanksgiving and there's a chance I won't get to go home in December for the holidays because it's actual season time basketball. I flew here from Minnesota alone so I didn't have the experience of my mom or anybody moving me in my dorm or saying goodbye to me at all. Though I know people here like the people on my team and the boys team, it's still hard because none of them are in any of my classes and I have to make the effort to meet new people. This first week went by fast and I learned a lot from the different people on campus. I guess leaving home for anybody is a hard transition and I just fell in that category. Though going to Summer school helped me alot because I knew where alot of buildings were and some of the other things on campus were, I still miss home where I could wake up any time of the day I pleased lol. All things set aside, this week has been fun and I do actually look forward to the rest of the semester.
