it’s hard to live far enough from home that there is no safety net of leaving berkeley to see my family or pre-berkeley friends all that often, or even at all. i know that living close enough to home does not always guarantee that you will go home every weekend, or that you’ll even be able to just randomly up and leave berkeley to be with your parents, but it’s a more likely option than constantly flying in and out of the area to return home. that kind of sucks sometimes. i’m not rich. i do not have that kind of money or time.
distance is hard (duh), but this was part of the decision to go to school in the bay area. it’s just that times like this, as i’m packing to leave, i wonder when i’ll get over that leaving home feeling that makes my eyes water and my throat tighten even just an imperceptible bit.

awww marie!!! i can’t tell you how accurate this was to how i felt when i was a second year too! don’t worry, it gets easier (and harder too) with each semester. you’ll find your own routine of leaving home and it’ll be ok!!!
