Family's been on my mind lately.
My parents will be here for Parents' Weekend, so there's that, and what to do with them. But my brother will be perfectly willing to drag them shopping constantly, so that's not too much of a worry. I get to just be happy that I'll see them.
And there's this house, which utterly amazingly has begun to feel like family to me. Maybe it's because we have a real dining room table. Maybe it's because there's a sane number of us. Maybe it's from cleaning up after Connor and Yang. But... it's really nice.
And lastly, there's the whole nesting business. And the getting attached to people, and feeling old, and thinking about life after Carleton and how that will work. Because my "family" from freshman year scattered, just from not living on the same floor. Will I lose people the same way by graduating? Probably, but... not everyone, right?
