5. School vs. Home

My week at school was great. I studied a lot this week and wrote two papers. I wrote a paper on the Tuskegee Project for my Human Biology class, and I continued writing my paper for English class. There was much to keep me busy this week, but I am getting use to that. I finally started to get the hang of things in Math class (Thank God). My classes are going good and so is my social life at school.
But, there is always a problem somewhere. When I went home this weekend my visit was not so pleasant. Everything was crazy and it seemed like any complications I dodged at school came back to haunt me at home. My problems transferred from one place to the other. It would be too easy to have a good week at school and a good weekend at home. The older I get, the tougher life gets.
I feel like home should be the one place I can relax and be stress free. That is what someone’s home is to them, the one place where they feel comfortable and they know they belong. I felt uncomfortable and out of place. You would think that people would miss you more when you are gone, but maybe not. Everything cannot be perfect, because there is no such thing as perfection. Once you climb one mountain, then you are often to the next.

There's the saying "home is not a place, it's a feeling" - the same way as you described it!
So, maybe school becomes your home. However, I'd still wish that you also got times with your family where you can relax and where you have the "home"-feeling :-)
