last year i went to boarding school two hours away from home and i was definitely glad that i did it. aside from the whole school aspect and how that changed me, i was really really glad to see my parents when i did, my brother too. i came home for three long breaks and then a couple weekends. i e-mailed them at least once a day usually. yeah, i was definitely glad that i did it. i'm applying to go to spain next year for my senior year and i would be gone from september to june with no breaks, so that might be kind of difficult, but i'm willing to take on the challenge.
