This is going to be my first time home since I left for school (I'm surprised I made it this long). Originally the plan was to have my parents come get me very early Saturday morning to avoid traffic on Friday. I have class until 3:00, so at the time it did not seem worth it to sit in rush hour traffic. We can make it back to New Jersey in under an hour and a half by car. If I knew how to, I would have taken the train home, but that kind of stuff overwhelms me. I've never done it before, and would want someone that I know with me to show me what to do. I agreed with my parents idea to have my dad outside my dorm at 5:30 am, that way I am home by 7 am, I can fall back asleep in my own bed, and still get on with my short time home. Now though, that idea is not sounding so good.
As I walked around in the late afternoon when I was on the phone with my sister, all I saw were parents carrying duffle bags and suitcases and Fairfield students leaving for the weekend. Today there was the most adults on campus since move in day. I could't help but feel jealous. It may not sound like a lot, but these kids have 12 more hours than me at home. That makes all the difference.
The last couple hours have dragged on. I don't even know what I did, but time is moving so slow. I tried to do homework, so I don't have to worry about it over the weekend but I can't focus. I'm too excited! I am not used to the quiet in my room, on my floor, or around campus. On my walk back from the gym I only saw 4 people. That's how you know everyone is already home.
I'm glad I only have seven and a half more hours until my dad is going to be here to pick me up. Hopefully I will fall asleep soon so I have enough energy to enjoy every single second I have at home.
