I’m homesick. This time it’s bad, worse than the first time. After a week-long hiatus from anything academic, spending the night back in my dorm is anything but exciting. I say this bitterly after spending the week perusing through books, laughing with friends and family, and being affectionate with my cats.<\/p>\n

\"Isn't<\/a>

Isn’t he splendid?<\/p><\/div>\n

While I was home I had the best time. Thanksgiving was spent with loved ones, so on the right is a cheesy selfie of me and my girlfriend.<\/p>\n

The food was terrific, and all in all it made me realize how much I was homesick, and how much I have to go and make Iowa my new home. I traveled a whole state over, and it’s really hard getting used to it.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t forget about black Friday! I went really early (9 a.m) to Half Price Books and got a tote bag and a lot of books for 30% off! On the left is\u00a0The Fountainhead,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Tender is the Night,\u00a0<\/em>and a collection of John Steinbeck short stories. I got that for $15 dollars! I love saving money, I’m like a 40 year old mom when it comes to coupons and savings!\u00a0\"photo-nov-27-12-03-08-pm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say that I’m not excited to be back here in Iowa, it’s more or less that I’m ready to go back to my warm cooked meals and rest up. For months teachers warmed me that college would be difficult, and they weren’t lying. I guess it just takes some time to adjust. It does suck that it’s almost December and I’m still adjusting. Just counting down the days until I can wear my ugly sweater, and still in search of home sweet home.<\/p>\n
