    After being away from home for so long, I can not wait for school to be finished so I can go home. Not only do I want to be able to sleep in my own bed, shower without flip flops, and have a home cooked meal, but I want to be able to be with my family whenever I want. I want to be able to watch television with them, have dinner with them, and even play games with them.
    My favorite thing to do with my grandparents is to play cards. We play a game called May I and it is like a seven hand rummy game. Every night that we do not have any plans, I beg my parents if we can go play cards at my grandma's. However, it is routine that we play at least one night a weekend, if not both Friday and Saturday.
    The game gets very serious. We even keep a schedule of who wins and at the end of the year we tally it up, get the percentage of games won, and have a winner! You don't actually win anything, but you do get bragging rights! It is the most fun that I could ever have with my family and I wouldn't spend my weekends any other way.
