4 more days!!!

Ok, i never thought i would be saying this, but on friday my family is coming in town and i absolutely can't wait to see them. Well, actually my boyfriend is coming too which is a major part of why i am excited as well. But i really was under the impression that i would get to college and you know, call my parents once in a while, maybe go home every other month or so, not really ever think about them. Oh no, it is the exact opposite. I probably talk to my mom on the phone 3 times a day, i think about this weekend about 4 times an hour, and i miss home so much more than i thought i would

Yes, i like it here. I have made some friends and don't get me wrong, the freedom is great. I dont have to be in at one, i dont have to keep my room clean, and really dont answer to anyone when it comes to how i decide to live my life. But i still miss them immensely. My older sister who is 16 years older than i am said, "oh college is great. I got there and everyone was crying and homesick and i was like what are ya'll crying about? This is great!! I was never homesick." And here i am, "Mommy, daddy, i miss you so much (tear, tear, sniffle) I can't wait to see you this weekend!!" Kinda embarassing, i must say.

The reason they are coming in town is because my high school alma mater is playing a local memphis school in football friday night. (ECS, or something??) My boyfriend and younger brother both still attend my old school, the boyfriend plays football. I really am about to just like jump for joy about this whole weekend and i feel like a complete nerd for it. In college, youre supposed to be so excited for parties and living it up. And what am i excited about?? thats right, my parents coming in town?? Embarassing, and utterly dorky
