This past weekend I spent the weekend in Washington, D.C. at Gallaudet University. It is a Deaf college and it is where I am hoping to get my master's degree. Once I set foot on campus, I thought, "I am home now." It was the first time I'd ever been there. I had a wonderful weekend and cried when I had to leave. And now I am "home" but all I can think about is getting back to Gallaudet. I am really stuck about what to do. Wondering if I should go ahead and transfer or stick it out here one more year. I have been dealing with so much here and I can't wait to get out. It's wearing me down. I'm not ready to face it again. I just want to leave it all behind. I know Gallaudet's not perfect. No place is (Other than Heaven of course). But maybe it's perfect for me. It's "perfectly imperfect" as my friend Jesse Manibusan would say. I really don't know where this post is going honestly. Just what's on my mind... Here's an idea... Let's have our fellow bloggers and followers comment on this post about how to deal with being away from your home. Whether it's your literal home, or a place that feels like home, or wherever your friends are. How do you deal with that? Because I know I have to do that every single day. Once everyone else has posted, I'll post a few things that help me get through it. So..here are a few questions to help you. What/where is home for you? What makes it home? And most importantly, how do you cope with not being there?
P.S. A shoutout to Jakee: I have not forgotten you. Just been busy and bogged down with life. Let's catch up soon. Long math equation you. ;-)
