Excerpt
My late night Target runs were becoming more and more frequent as August 18th rapidly approached. Would I be prepared to leave? Would I have enough clothes to wear? The seven cardboard boxes bursting with jeans and sweaters just didn't look like enough. I would need to bring every article of clothing that I owned because I was not planning to wash more than twice a semester. Also, I wasn't going to be back home for three and a half months. That is the longest that I had ever been away from home; last summer I had gone to a soccer camp out of state for five whole days and I thought that was a long time. That is why I had to be very prepared; I would not feel really homesick if I could bring all the comforts of home along with me.
