Fall break was a great time to be at home with family. I got to home visit my farm and get ready for the upcoming hunting season. Considering I didn’t come back to a dead fish, returning to school wasn’t so bad. Since it isn’t my first year I’m used to going home and being ok with coming back since I come and go frequently. I feel ok with being back especially since I don’t have a roommate, but I did really miss my friend who used to be my roommate since we usually see each other everyday. There are plenty of event coming up to look forward to as well so that eases my mind too.

Speaking of events coming up, class registration is one of them. I have to get up bright and early at 7 am on halloween just to make sure I get the classes I need. I have my classes planned out so I know what I need to take. Being in the business program, many of my upper level classes are blocked off until I take accounting. So that class is a must in my schedule. I also have to fulfill some civitae requirements as well. Not many things feel brand new here , I feel like I’m pretty used to stuff. At the beginning of the semester I was nervous to eat alone but now I realize everyone does it and it gives me a little time to call and catch up with my sister.

My experience at a smaller school compared to the main characters bigger school are probably pretty different. At a big school there is lots of things to do and many places to go outside of school. Here in Farmville we are relatively limited. However, compared to my old school this is really big, so I am really enjoying all of the options of things to do.

I don’t really find myself drifting from my friends at home. I have a few really close friends as opposed to a lot of acquaintances who I am not as close to. So with my friends being more like family we are way past the point of drifting. The kid of friends that you only have to talk to once a week but you know you are still friends in the end are the best kind. You don’t have to wonder if they have forgotten about you, there is a mutual understanding that you are both busy so you don’t need to talk as much.

The breaks approaching aren’t really any different for me. Like I said Im home almost every other weekend. It’s a pretty regular thing for me especially with hunting season coming up, but I’m sure being home will be just as great as it always is. The holidays are coming up so that means pumpkin patches, family time and here soon Christmas trees and decorating.
