<p>She makes you? Seriously? You're in college now. Unless there's some circumstance that makes it so coming home is absolutely necessary (financial whatevers so you need to hold a job, a sick family member, etc) you get to choose when to go home now :-\ Like, what's going on? </p>

<p>Airborne is BS.</p>

<p>dear jeyday, </p>

<p>does your TA not tell you to focus more on certain readings than others? ruiz is generally considered a great [and easier] prof than others. you'll probably do well @ this rate by the end of the class. </p>

<p>dear hibiscuspink, </p>

<p>i had a good number of floormates who went home weekly or twice a month either by choice or force. </p>

<p>dear mr muffin,</p>

<p>did CHINA flake on you? i wouldnt be surprised!</p>

<p>dear cc, </p>

<p>I'm home right now, because we visit the cemetery tomorrow. But why force? :/</p>

<p>no he actually didn't! smash was great. i love smash. smash smash smash.</p>

<p>although i'm gonna joh- i mean tell you guys the fact that if i weren't playing mewtwo vs his peach i would've been 5 cents richer. oh well, they were pennies anyways</p>

<p>SMASH</p>

165

<p>well, she makes me because she WANTS me home. i mean i understand what she means... we actually had an argument yesterday when i came home about this. i told her i might want to stay next weekend, and she got all upset saying stuff like, "we don't see you for 5 days of the week and when you ARE home you talk about staying there and not wanting to come home"... she got hurt by the fact that she missed me so much but she felt like i hadn't</p>

<p>i know she misses me because she's used to seeing me at home every day like it always has been, but she will adjust to that fact sooner or later. for me, college is a whole new experience and it's the beginning of it too so everything's new and i want to stay-- it's not that i don't miss her but i just don't feel the same emptiness she does because for me it's a new environment and new people and there's so much to do and so much happening and college is a whole new world and everything you know? she will have to adjust just like i will... but it's just the beginning things will fall into place...</p>

<p>but for future weekends she said we'll figure things out so we'll see...</p>

167

<p>you're her first child, right?</p>

168

<p>yes i am... haha :p</p>

169

<p>hey jeyday.. for history 2c.. didn't your TA email you? mine said to read certain parts of The Little Flowers of St. Francis and some online thing that is one the syllbus. as for Teresa of Avila, we're a week behind I think, and do that later..?</p>

170

<p>no my TA said read parts 1 and 2 (which is 216 pages) and parts of part 3, plus appendix sections 1, 2, and 3... :(</p>

171

<p>My TA said read Parts 1 2 3, sec 20 of part 6 and appendix 1 2 3 as well as Hildegard and St. Bernard... :[[[[</p>

172

<p>wow that sucks... i feel for you... but at least now i know i'm not the worst off haha</p>

173

<p>oh wait! I think I'm the same too.. ugh. just great. I'm guessing it's due at our discussion sections?</p>

174

<p>Yeah. I think the readings really depend on which section you're enrolled in. My friend only has to read 2 parts...</p>

<p>Jayday_Lovely: I hope you Mom relaxes a bit on you going home every weekend. My youngest daughter is a freshman at UCLA this fall. She has been gone for 2 weeks and of course I miss her but she is having the time of her life and I am very happy for her. My older daughter is in her 3rd year of college in Portland. We live in the SF bay area so coming home weekends is not an option even if they wanted to (which I'm sure they don't!) So for the first time both of my daughters are gone. I will see my daughter in 2 weeks for Family Weekend but am prepared to go 2 months or so without seeing either daughter. It's hard but I realize they are adults now starting their own independent lives. I want them to be independent and learn to be on their own so as much as I miss them I am happy for them. My daughter at UCLA is so busy and has made many friends. I think it is important to be there on the weekends to enjoy some fun times and take advantage of all the school and the area has to offer...football games, movies, dinners in town, etc... Tell your Mom what I've said and hopefully she will start being ok with you staying on campus sometimes. Good luck!</p>
