Mid Autumn Festival...

So it's Sunday morning and I just realized Mid Autumn Festival was last night... What did I do? I had Waffle House for dinner, watched Football, played video games, studied and slept. I knew the day was coming, but I guess I blocked out that event in my brain so that it wouldn't trigger any heart wrenching emotions...
I feel a hard tug in my heart whenever I see friends and family from home post new pictures on their Facebook accounts... I have missed many a reunion because I am in school here in America. I have missed many a family gathering because I am in school here in America. It is hard to celebrate Chinese New Year here when the people who truly celebrate the festival with you is all the way back home.
The same goes for Mid Autumn Festival... I remember my first lantern was a rabbit, and my brother's was a chicken. We had fun running around our big yard with our lanterns, being jealous of our cousins' big Ninja Turtle lanterns. I love the mooncakes that we eat, especially the double yolked ones... I would usually pick out the yolk and save them for last because that was the best part...
So to those of you who celebrated Mid Autumn Festival... I hope you had a good time...
To all of you who did not get to, I hope you had a good time anyways...
