Home and Away

Since I am from Hawaii that comes with a few advantages and disadvantages, one advantage is that I do not have to deal with weather thats so cold I can’t feel my face.

I am looking forward to this upcoming winter break because I will get to see my family and spend time with them, but the sad part is that I have to come back to Iowa when the break is finished. So when I am at home, getting tan, going to the beach the whole time while I am enjoying myself I know that I will have to leave the warmth and have to eventually return to the frozen tundra.

I only get to go home twice a year for a very short period of time so when I do go home it does make me a little homesick when I think about not being able to see my family for a while. I think about just staying home and not coming back but my parents want me to get a college education.

So I will be going home for winter break and it will be 85 degrees and when I have to return to school it will be a nice 10 degrees. It is a big temperature change to go through but the main thing that bothers me is when I am working out at home I can sweat and go outside and do the thing that I need to do to get better. But when I come back to school we are literally stuck indoors until basically May.
