Upcoming Weekend

I’m really hoping this week will go by fast because I think I’m going to take a trip home to surprise my family and friends. I go home a lot, but that’s because I love the small town environment and I love seeing my friends. In order to go home, I first have to find a ride because I don’t have a car here. One of my friends goes home almost every weekend so hopefully he’ll go home again.

I think the biggest reason I like to go home is that I have a group of friends that I’m really close too. All through high school, I pretty much hung out with most of the people a grade lower than me. Every time I go home I still hang out with them because we’re all so close. My biggest problem with college so far is that I’m not meeting very many people and so that’s probably another reason why I love going home and hanging out with my friends.

When I first get home, I’m going to hang out with my parents for a little bit. Then I’m probably going to go to my high school sometime and eat with a bunch of my friends. While I’m there I’ll go see some of my teachers and coaches from last year. That night there will be a football game so I’m going to go to that with a bunch of friends. Friday night I will probably stay at my best friend, Alex’s, house. She has a jeep so we’ll go find some mud and go mudding. Either that or we’ll go swimming. We always do something crazy whenever I come home so I already expect it to happen. Someone will probably be having a party so we’ll most likely go there as well.

Every time I stay at her house her dad will make me breakfast so I’m already looking forward to that. Breakfast usually consists of bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausage, and orange juice. After I leave Alex’s, I’m going to go to my sister, Amanda’s, apartment and visit her and her daughter, Taylor. My sister and I were very close before I left for college and I miss her like crazy. I’m excited to see Taylor too because she keeps getting smarter and smarter. She’s not even two yet, but she can talk your ears off. I can’t wait to see them both.

I’m hoping that on Saturday I can see some of the girls that were on my travel softball team. I would love to play in a tournament, but I don’t think they have one this weekend. That’s one of the things I miss the most about home. I got to play softball all year round for the last four years of my life and now I never get to play anymore. It really sucks because I have no one to play with here. I didn’t make the club team and that really made me upset because that was my chance to play all the time.

Anyways, back to what I’m doing over the weekend. Saturday evening I’m going to go to church with my family. Our church has service on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings, but my parents prefer Saturday’s. A tradition of ours is to go out to eat after church and usually we go to a Chinese restaurant called Hunan Village. They have the best Chinese food I have ever eaten.

After that I’m probably going to go four-wheeling with a bunch of my friends. This is actually a different group of friends. My friend, Alex, always comes with me though because she’s the one that introduced it to me. We usually ride with a group of guys because neither of us actually has a 4-wheeler. I can’t wait to go riding because it’s so fun. It’ll get very messy and muddy, but that’s what makes it so fun. I’ll probably clean up after that and then go home so spend some more time with my family.

Sunday morning I will get up and eat breakfast with my parents and then just relax until it’s time to leave to come to tech. I hope the weekend goes by very slow because I love how things are at home. Things can get to chaotic here at tech and at home it’s never busy. I can’t wait to get to drive my car around in the little town of Warsaw. I’m hoping the weekend will be as great as I’m seeing it to be and hopefully it will relieve some of the stress I’m having from schoolwork.
