Perhaps it's the fact that my father was here recently, but I've been finding a lot of songs/facts/bits about Arizona on the internets. I'd like to go visit Flagstaff for the day when I go home, just to see why I think I like it so much. It's also made me realize that I'd like to be a day's drive from my family for both emotional and clock-time

I'm sorry you're homesick. I think the only reason I'm not anymore is because my parents have been divorced for ten years, and they sold our house long ago.

I do feel kind of anchorless, though.

It's not homesick like I was during my first year, mostly because I have a great support network. I do feel a bit fish out of water, being a left coast kid. This time it ties into the balancing of school and work I have to do and my desire for education. It's also the slow sloughing off of old ideas regarding education time frame and life time frame.

It *could* be easier to move back home and just focus on school full time. Skyler Tanner RN might come a year or so faster, but the thought of being a boomerang kid would be a hit to my ego. More meditation to transcend that, I think.
