Blog 10: Home?

My spring break was pretty good. I went home and got to spend time with my family. I helped clean since I was the only one in the house that didn’t have any real obligations to take care of like school or work. My little brother had his spring break the week before ours and was ready to hang out and watch movies on Netflix when I got home. I went shopping for shorts since my mother had thrown my old shorts out because they were nearly worn out. My brother needed to go shopping for dress pants because he needed them for concert festival and he had outgrown his old dress pants. We found a sale at kohl’s that had dress pants buy one get one free so that was nice. Concert festival is like a competition for concert bands where they are rated on a scale of one to three with one being the best rating you can get and three being the worst. The bands are rated on pieces they have prepared and a piece that they have never played before and have to sight read. The band my brother is in received all ones on everything they did that day.  I wanted to brag about them for a minute in my post this week since they have been practicing hard in preparation for the festival. I returned to my dorm yesterday and sat in my green chair that the university furnishes the dorms with. I felt like I was finally able to relax and I realized that at some point in time my dorm had become home and my house had become more like a place I would visit like my grandparent’s house or something.
