Livin' in 'Bama

I'll be honest... I'm homesick.  Kind of like when I first went to Gunnery and the first two weekends are closed, I feel trapped.  I keep myself busy with video games, random chores, and my new kitten, but I keep thinking about my family and how far away they are.  This is what growing up is.  It sucks.  I am so happy, and yet, so sad.  Never before have I felt this alone.  I miss my home.
