I hate the fact that my parents are buying my tickets for me. I do miss home, but I don't wanna spend 1642 dollars for it (primarily because I don't have it). I would much rather just avoid the horrible 20+ long flight, the sneezing and wheezing AND avoid all the you are still a burden to us implications. I don't know why I would lug myself all the way down there so that people can continually express disappointment in me.
