my family and job update

Last night I realized, I really miss my family. I haven't seen them in almost 2 months which would be pretty normal even when I was living in Florida. But just knowing that seeing my family involves a $200-300 plane ticket and a 3 hour plane ride makes the time seem even longer and reminds me how far away they really are. Since I left for college when my little brother was only about 11 I feel like I missed out on a lot of his growing up and it makes me sad. I feel like my little brother and I have a lot in common. When I was his age, I was also pretty quiet and to myself, while my older brother was always the outgoing popular one. Whenever I do see my little bro, I feel like because we have this in common, we naturally get along and feel comfortable around eachother. It makes me sad though that I don't know a lot about what he likes, what kind of things he's into, what are his overall goals. I've also been thinking about my grandma's, I miss them so much! Sometimes I wonder if I should have moved, maybe I should have stayed in Florida, closer to my family. But then I think, my parents did the same thing I'm doing now. They moved south, to Florida, when basically their whole family was up north in NJ or NY. Even though I miss my family, I have to remember how badly I wanted to experience something new and remember that that involves leaving for some amount of time and that a lot of people do it. Pretty much everyone I know has parents living in a different state than where they're living. I guess it's just something I'll have to get used too if I want to continue seeing new things.

On the job front, I'm expecting to hear back from FlyDesign this week. I think i'll call them tomorrow. I'm also going to call back that real estate firm i had the phone interview with (which btw i think went well). Tomorrow i'm going to have lunch with Olivia at corporate Crate&Barrel. While i'm there, i'm going to drop off my resume in person...
