Life Starts Now: Renovations and Changes

So I have posted a lot about this on twitter and facebook, but currently our upstairs bathroom is being renovated. We are extending our bathroom, getting a bigger tub which will have jets, a stand up shower and a new toilet. I have been taking pictures of the bathroom as the men have been working on it. Today is only day 2 of renovations and they have already done so much, the estimated time to finish the bathroom is 6 days. We are even getting new flooring and new tiles around the tub. Its undecided, but we might also paint our bathroom, but lucky me, by the time the bathroom is done, I will have a week, maybe 2 weeks before I go to Cornwall for college, meaning I won't really get to use the new bathroom for long...
The bathroom so far is looking different, its actually changed the way the upstairs hallway looks because they extended the bathroom, now it looks like our bathroom used to be very small, but it wasn't, it just wasn't as big as it is now. The walls aren't complete, the floors aren't done, we still have no stand up shower or toilet, we do have the tub, but its not hooked up and in and all that yet. I got to lay down in the tub and it is massive...well, its large, massive is not the right word to use, because it isn't that big, I can't lay straight in it like I can on a bed, but its still bigger then our old one, and deeper, a lot deeper!

My parents keep joking around saying that as soon as I leave they are renovating and turning my room into a Sauna or a weight room or something, and they don't realize how much that actually gets to me, I've told them to stop making jokes like that, because it really sinks in that I'm leaving and I don't think I'm ready to go..at least not so far away...
I'll still be coming home to visit, I'll even be home for 3 weeks in the Winter and then I'm also back all Summer, but my parents just say I can sleep in the basement...It makes me feel detached...like I'm no longer part of this family, like when I leave, that's it, I'm on my own, almost like I was never here at all, like this was never my home to begin with, like they are just waiting for me to leave so they can turn my room upside-down and into some new room of their choice. I know my parents love and care about me, I know they'll miss me, but when they talk about changing my room, it hits me that I'm growing up, I'm leaving.... and it sucks.
So many people can't wait to get away from home, to be on their own and have the freedom to do whatever they want, some of them don't realize how good they have it, how much their family does for them, maybe some people have legitimate reasons for wanting to leave, for needing to get away, but those of them that have it good, that count on their parents for things, and they just want to leave; it makes me sad...because I wish I could stay longer, or go to college somewhere closer.
My mom was going to give me her car if my college was closer, she just recently decided that if I want it still she'll give it to me and buy herself a new car, I said no, because even though having a car of my own would be amazing, I want to go through my first year of college without worrying about paying for gas or any other car expenses on top of everything else that I would have to pay for. After my first year I will decide whether or not I want her car for my second year, if I think financially I can handle it.

This is slightly off topic...okay, completely off topic, but I have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and I just noticed that there is a fly buzzing around my room -.- It's distracting....Any ways, this is long enough, I will end this entry with some pictures of how the bathroom is going so far.
