Nothing thrilled me more today then when I waltzed outside and felt the FABULOUS 70-something degree weather. However, as the day went on I realized that I miss the snow of the midwest. My friends have pictures on Facebook of them playing in the snow. As much as I said I wanted to get away from the cold Ohio weather, I just can't shake that homesick feeling. I miss the snow and ice, the hot cider and hot chocolate, fireplaces and big blankets.
I haven't been homesick really until today. I have had a little feeling of homesickness here and there but nothing too bad. I can't believe I actually miss the frigid temperatures and ice storms but I do. I look at the pictures of the cars covered in snow and I miss scraping off my car to go to school.
When I went home for Thanksgiving, I actually called SMU home. Where did that feeling of home go? Maybe it's that with finals, my "family" has disappeared. With finals looming, all my friends have gone into hiding in the library.
It's funny really. I left the midwest to get away from the cold weather and now I actually miss it. Maybe absence DOES make the heart grow fonder. I know that since I've been here, I have definitely grown fonder of the snow.
Only 2 weeks until Christmas break
