Ms. Independent…?

It is now day 2 of summer and I am loving every moment of it… though I do spend almost half of my day watching television. It’s alright! I deserve it. Well, television is not what I’m here to blog about however. My mother is the reason why I am loving summer break so far. It’s slowly beginning to hit me. I have around a month and a half stay remaining until I leave for Washington D.C. once again and I feel very nervous about being on my own without her. Yes, I am excited about the new school year, but life without her, I’m not so sure myself. I’m not trying to say I depend on her all the time. I’m 18 and I am an adult. She does give me the opportunity to be independent. I do make my own decisions by using my own judgments. But, the thought of being independent nearly 3,000 miles away from her sends chills down my spine. The last thing I ever wish to see is disappointment in her eyes.
