homesick

I am soooo homesick and i know this is a stupid thing to complain about but i just have to write about it. i usually have no problems with missing home, but i guess this summer i just became closer to my family in new ways and i really appreciated the comforts of being home. i'm going home in about 2 and a half weeks but it just isn't soon enough. the thing is, when i'm at home i'll probably just lie around the house, read, and watch tv, all of which i can do here, but there's something not the same about it. even though it's basically still summer, i can't stop thinking about the holidays. there is something so great about everyone being together in the cold weather with a fire in the living room and apple pie. i can't even remember the last time we had apple pie, but something about it feels comforting and reminds me of home. i also miss all of my friends a TON probably because it's kind of lonely here. it's not that i don't know anyone, it's just a different atmosphere- much bigger and less personal. there are definitely good things and bad things about that but sometimes it just gets to me. counting down the days til i see everyone again!
