It was hard to get up this morning.
Thank the most gracious, perfect God above for Scottish Breakfast Tea. That and some honey, and I only started to doze off in THTR 130 once. Boo yah.
I'm getting to know my Intro to Production professor a little! He's a neat guy who really knows his stuff. He's got that talking on and on and on quality to his voice though. Meh.
I was able to get back to my dorm room in time to wake Jinny up for her class, then worked hard to finish the reading that I failed to do last night. I got pretty far and only had 5 or so pages to go when I got a pleasant interruption.
Mom came to visit!!!!!!!!!
I've missed my family so incredibly much; it was so nice to see her again. She went with me to get lunch, then we both read (and people watched) so I could finish up that reading I had to do before class. She even walked me to class :)
In Text Studies, we're reading A Streetcar Named Desire, and I find it absolutely fascinating. I would love to play Stella, should I ever get the opportunity. Your thoughts? Don't spoil the ending! I'm supposed to finish reading it before Thursday, and would prefer the surprises!
I left class early and met up with Mom to go to a follow-up appointment for my elbow. Remember those problems I was talking about? Taking Motrin has helped it feel better, and the doctor said that it just got irritated somehow and so it's only swollen. I should ice it and still continue Motrin, and it should heal with time. So that's great news!
Mom and I got to hang out more while I studied for my Spanish test, but before that we went exploring in the film school, and I proved that I officially know my way around campus now. Yay for college students!
I left her again for my Spanish test, but that turned out to not be nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It was easy, and only worth 3% of my grade. Hooray!
I hung out with Mom some more: she helped me get ready for tomorrow, and gave me some stuff from home I've been needing (clothes, etc.). She also brought me homemade muffins!!! But, unfortunately, she was here less than a day. I walked her to her cab and said good bye again around 5:45 :(
Since Mom left, it's hit me again that I actually am homesick. I can't wait to see all of my family again, as well as my friends. Even after a month of being here, USC isn't quite "home." I mean, it is in regards to where I'm living, but as far as where I'm used to calling home, it certainly isn't. In that case, my home is back in the Bay Area.
If home is where the heart is... well, then home is in my chest.
(Kudos to you if you can guess the reference I just made)
Anyways, Jinny and I discovered that there were free cookies at Chick-Fil-A, so we went on an excursion to obtain them, then I went to eat real dinner before eating my cookie. It was good! Really chocolaty. I also discovered a Cold Stone nearby campus!!! Success!!! Jinny and I think it would be a wonderful idea to go to Cold Stone before our next Lord of the Rings movie :)
Ever since, I've been in my room, attempting to get something done of this Spanish project that's due Thursday. It's not hard, per se, but it is tedious and not particularly interesting. I'm done with all my initial research, finally, but still have to put my sources in MLA format and write the actual paper. I'll do some of it tomorrow. Maybe work on my sources tonight.
I miss your hugs, Mom :( Hope you made it home safe: you never did text me upon arrival... Pretty sure your flight arrived by now!
Of all the things college throws at you, I think being away from those you love is the hardest.
Fight on, loved ones of mine. <3
