[Stormy]

My relationship with my family is great when I'm at school, and even when I first arrive home. Short visits are no different: happily united under our surname and one roof. But when I'm home for weeks on end during breaks, my parents resort to being sniveling, clingy folks and I really don't get my space. There's no place in this home where I can go without feeling the surround sound, or have a room to myself for a few spare hours. I'm grumpy and the clashing of our habits has put me on a "stay up all hours to have time to myself" schedule that only exacerbates our proximity. I love them, but I can't live with them.

Two more weeks. :-/
