In Other News…

I’m back (in Oberlin that is). It’s been an awkward few days. I wanted to be all excited about being back, but I’ve been having mixed feelings. It makes me feel bad. I watched friend after friend come back and exclaim, “I’m home!!!” and felt… not the same. Which makes me feel guilty, because Oberlin is my home, but it’s not my first home. I feel like the child of divorced parents, shuttled between two houses, expected to love each one best. And if I had to choose, I’m not sure I would choose Oberlin. I love it here, but I don’t want to be here.

Does that make sense? If it does, please explain it to me. Right now I’m too busy figuring out reducing sugars.
