I'm going home this weekend to visit with my parents and get one of two breaks I will have all summer. I have to get caught up on all my reading by tomorrow night so I don't get behind in my summer course but then I can have the whole weekend off from thinking about school. I am signed up for the second summer semester as well so I will only get the week before fall semester starts off and so this is like a little mini vacation this weekend. I am going back mainly to visit and let my mom take me out for supplies. We go out once a semester or so and she takes to the bulk store in town to stock up on things I will need across the whole semester. We get big cases of water and bulk bags of rice and cereal which last me for a couple of months till I have saved enough to supplement with my own money till the next trip. We also get pet supplies for my dog Bosco and my lizards. It may not seem like something that needs to bought in bulk but pet supplies for a lizard adds up when you have to change their terrarium once a week. We also always go out to my favorite restaurant back home which is this great little authentic Indian restaurant which serves the best curry chicken in the entire world. We go there with all of my grandparents and my little brother who is going to be a senior in high school this year. Next year he will be having this same dinner when he's coming home to visit. Though he is considering going in to the military so we may not be able to bring him home when we want but when he is allowed. I hope that this weekend functions as a big stress reliever for me because this summer has been pretty lonely so far and if I can't get some sort of relief now then I may spend my week off at the end of the summer just trying to return to a normal state.
