Bittersweet.
I miss the mountains. I'll miss the nostalgia of Raleigh.
I miss the rugged outdoors. I'll miss the comfort of my childhood home indoors.
I miss the independence of being away and alone from home. I'll miss the support of my loving family at home.
I miss my friends in Boone. I'll miss my family and friends in Raleigh.
I miss my home in Boone. I'll miss my home in Raleigh.
Is it possible to be torn in two? I am.
I love everything about Boone: the crisp mountain air, the unexpected, the rigor of classes, the independence, the friends, the landscape, the jagged edges of the outdoors.
I love everything about Raleigh: the familiarity, the unconditional, loving family I am so lucky to be blessed with, the friends I seem to have known for ages, the straight-edged lines of urban downtown.
I am so unbelievably ready to be back in Boone, but I am so unbelievably sad to be leaving everything in Raleigh behind.
Most of all, my family. I miss my family every single day I'm up in Boone, and that is one of resounding pains of Boone.
I wish more than anything I could have it all, family and Boone, but I know I can't. So for now I'll have to settle for both whenever I can get them and in 2 days, it's Boone's turn.
That does not by any stretch mean that I won't miss my family more than anything, I just wish they knew how much I do.

Interpretation of Sibling Dynamics.
To gain a better understanding of my sister and I's relationship, I have provided you (whoever you are) with the following video. Playing me is the young man seated at the table while my sister is played by the jolly fellow holding the pot of Kool Aid. Enjoy.
