Surprised

As I was reading my You and You Tube homework about blogging, I decided I would blog about how differently I am reacting to college than I thought I would. First, you must understand that I am very close to my family. They are amazing, specifically my mother who is my best friend. I thought I would be an emotional wreck, which is normally not the case at home because I have my family to lean on. However, at college without them I assumed I would be calling home crying after a week at E-Town because I was homesick. The strange thing is I haven't really been homesick yet. I am happy here and I can't help but think maybe I just needed to get out of Hagerstown, Maryland. Granted, I do miss my family but not so much that I can't concentrate or have a good time here. Aside from this, the things I do miss are utterly random. For one, I miss my old Spanish class and Spanish teacher. I believe this is because I have Spanish this semester and it is just very different from high school. I also miss my mattress. Even with a memory foam topper the mattresses here are pretty bad. Most mornings I wake up with a backache or a crick in my neck. My mattress at home is heavenly. I tried to convince my mother that we could bring it and switch the mattresses out with no one noticing but she didn't really go for that idea. I also miss driving places. I do not have a car here and so I haven't driven in about 2 and half weeks. I want to just go out and drive around Etown but that's not really possible. I mainly just miss being different places. I am getting a little tired of being in the same five buildings constantly. Even an outing to Kmart seems enjoyable at the moment. I feel bad for missing silly things rather than being homesick because I seems like my family misses me more than I am missing them. I normally get a card or package a week. All my friends here are blown away and always think it is my birthday but its just my family being them. My mother is so amazing that she drove 2 and half hours to see me play in a volleyball game on Tuesday night. Then I told her I didn't even want to come home on Saturday night because there was a dance. I kind of feel like a schmuck. Maybe it will get worse after more time passes and I will get homesick. But for now I am doing just fine.
