This morning I was awakened by a police officer cruising
down the street on the loud speaker saying “Please move ya caaaah. If you don’t move ya caaaah, you will be
towed. We aahh about to staaht street
cleaning.” Whoa… I’m not in Chicago
anymore!!! In Chicago, you would have
awakened to find your car gone. Like POOF! Gone. Good luck finding and getting to the tow lot and
even bigger luck getting it back without coughing up some serious cash. So,
even while I was awakened out of a sound sleep, I wasn’t even upset. I consider that wake up call to be a true
public service announcement!
The other night I had a visit from my BFF who drove up to
take this poor college student out to dinner.
It was so nice to see a familiar face!
I haven’t been gone very long, but my brain has been on overdrive
learning new faces and names. I missed
the comfort of seeing a familiar face and I hadn’t realized it. I enjoyed her visit, but I was definitely
homesick by the time she left.
The homesickness has passed, but I’m sure that this will not
be last time that it will make my acquaintance in the next year! I just have to hunker down and keep my eyes
on the prize. It’s one of the sacrifices that I chose to make when I accepted
admission into the program.
I invite you to do your part to keep the homesickness at bay: SEND CARE PACKAGES! (Especially chocolate...I'm partial to chocolate!)
