Good depiction of being stir-crazy and homesick then finding one semi-productive way of dealing with that. Some grammar missteps along the way, but nothing that got in the way of understanding what you meant.

Some grammar stuff.
First sentence should be “have” since memories is plural.
Some of the second paragraph felt like run-ons, but in rereading I don’t think they are.
Not sure about the ‘was’ in the last sentence, but that could maybe go either way.

Thanks.
