Somewhat Home...

So today, or pretty much yesterday, was my uncle's birthday, that is why im out of riverside and back here at hanford. I was pretty excited to see everyone again, and it was like a big homecoming for me. I hung around my family more often when i got back home, rather than just staying in my room and on the laptop, i just hung out in the living room. It was different, i did  miss them. Then earlier today, when my aunts and uncles came from santa clara, my aunts gave me hugs, and it was different, 'cause usually i don't give them hugs or get hugs unless it's a special occasion, like new years or christmas. Something like that, but it was cool, shows how much they missed me.
So it was one of those big modesto parties, and i was the only malimban from the cousins or young guys here. So pretty much just chilled and played video games all day. Also went to Wal-Mart and Sonics, and i drove for the first time after like 2 weeks i think. But honestly it feels like a month since i've been gone. It feels so long since i've been home, or saw anyone. Yep.
It feels weird, knowing i'll be going back to riverside tomorrow or later on today. I'm just noticing how different it is. Like there is still so much to explore and to do at riverside, and i'm not fully settled yet.  i'm not saying i'm unhappy with riverside, im just saying that im still adapting to it and there is still a lot of things that i need to do there to get comfortable. It is going to be somewhat like home to me for the next couple of years.
