Being home again

It’s crazy how things change after only three months of not being home. I mean, I guess even when things don’t change, it just feels different. First of all, I came home and I plopped myself on our extremely comfy couch and turned on the new flat screen TV. I was excited to enjoy the couch and TV because we got it right after Christmas break and I didn’t get to enjoy it. Anyway, I grabbed the remote and changed the channel to 20. For those of you who watch TV at school, you know this channel is MTV. Well, apparently in New Hampshire, things are different. I totally forgot that MTV at our house is 58. It was so weird. It just came so naturally for me to change it to 20 for MTV.

Later that night, I went to grab a glass for a drink and I went to the wrong cupboard. Wow, I have only been away for three months and I already forgot where we keep the things in the kitchen. I felt so odd. I kind of felt like I wasn’t supposed to be home, or like this wasn’t even my house. I didn’t like this feeling at all! Of course, nothing else really changed. I got used to things again. Except, when I got in Wednesday night, I went to my room and got quite a suprise. Not only had my mom cleaned my room, but she had moved things all around and bought me a new comforter. When my sister came home, she came into my room and something about her and I switching rooms. Even though she is older, I have always had the bigger room. She is graduating from college next month and plans on living at home for a little while. For once in my life, I wasn't selfish and told her she could have my room.
