Family

Our spring break just started, and many of my classmates have gone home to see their families. I was almost dismissive of this idea, as I felt that I wanted to visit friends, see places, do newer more interesting things while I had the chance. Last night, I was thinking about where I'd like to go during the week, and realized how little chance I have to be at home anymore. I've never been a very good daughter, only calling home every few months, getting annoyed at my mom for disturbing my work even though she only calls once every few weeks and only for a few minutes, planning to do everything except go home. This summer,  I will have almost no extra time to visit family, but it had been reasonable to me.

But last night, I decided that I need to see my family. So I switched the airplane ticket from May to a ticket 2 days from now. It's going to be a surprise. I changed my dad's airline email account so he wouldn't get the confirmation email. I'll just take a passenger shuttle home. I think it's a good plan, and the thought of this surprise is making me happy.
