Vail, you seem pretty jubiliant about your routine. Which school do you attend?_

Indubitably I'm jubilant! For privacy reasons, I don't disclose what school I'm attending on these boards, but I will say it's a small liberal arts school with 3-4K students attending, most of whom live on dorms or in University Apartments (as upperclassmen).

I'll admit mark19, that I felt similarly to you when I made the decision in that Wal-Mart parking lot that day by telling my parents I'd rather attend the instate school and live at home than move out of state, but my attitude quickly changed in the first couple of weeks when I could come home to my family and stuff after a long day at school. Why do you think the husband enjoys saying "Honey, I'm home!" after a long day of work, he's probably not really saying it to his wife/significant other/whatever as much as he's saying it to HIMSELF. He's home. And that's where I'm at, after a good day at school where everything seemed to go right, or after one of those miserable days where a professor irritated me (yet) again, I can still come home to the same people I've been coming home to all my life.
