And, the more I think about it sitting here at "home" during winter break, the more it makes sense. For vacation, I'm heading to my mom and dad's house, my brother and sister's home. When vacation is done and classes recommence, I'm heading home.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.
