This week has been particularly difficult. Homesickness had gotten the best of me. I was constantly very sad and tired. Thankfully, my father asked me if I wanted to come home for the weekend because he knew that I was struggling. I hopped on a bus Thursday after class and I was on my way back to Pittsburgh. The weekend was refreshing. There were lots of reunions with friends home from school, and of course the biggest reunion with my huge family. It was great, and helped to get my head right for the challenging weeks coming up with midterms and everything. Sunday, I said bye to my family and headed back to the concrete jungle ready to tackle a new week.
