Homesick? Or Friendsick?
14 years ago
So last night I attended Silvermane's Halloween party with Guil, having dropped by his house the night before (Mother Nature can suck my left testicle for that drive I had to make) and stayed over to make traveling 'Easier' (Again, suck my left testicle mother nature. Suck it.). Had tons of fun, talked alot with Silver, Spaz, and Runt before others showed up and the party became more of a party. Watched some gory and creepy movies, made jokes, carved pumpkins... yeah, fun times.
But now I'm not feeling so hot. The party was awesome mind you, but the aftereffects of driving back to my college a full two hours north of Silver's... Well, I realized something during it. About somewhere shy of the Bath region exit on I-295, I started feeling... well, strangely enough, Homesick. But not really Homesick either. I wasn't sick for Home per se (Anyone who has heard me multiple times in IM complain about my home situation will know why I was not Homesick for my Home) but more I was... I guess Friendsick. I wanted to have been able to spend more time with friends like that party, but couldn't Out of everyone who had arrived for it, I was the first to leave (Granted I was one of the first to arrive as well, the other bieng Guil who came with me), but I still wanted to stay longer.
I chose Unity College back when I had very little friends, and what friends I had I could talk with over the phone and just visit during my vacations, and I was satisfied. But now... Now I want more. I have more friends than I've ever truly had before, and Unity is causing me to have very little contact. Oh sure, there's IMs, and for those lucky few there's phone too, but I need the physical, in person, face to face contact. In Unity I have two friends, and they're nothing like the friends I have back home.
I want to graduate, I want a job, and I want to return to Boston. I want to live and work. I want to make money. I don't want to bring my work home with me. I don't CARE if it's hours that suck, so long as I'm not bringing much work home with me. I want a normal schedule I can follow with times I know that I can spend time with friends that I miss. I hate being so far from... well, civilization!
According to Kelix, one of my oldest and most dearest of Online friends, this is the point where most college students drop out. I don't plan to. I'm sticking with my college because I know that the degree I get will help me get the career I want, versus just a simple job. I just wish the rest of this semester and the following three semesters would go by quicker, so I might be... well, happier.

I get where you're coming from in a way, though. Having resided in three different states in the last five years, each time I moved to a new place it was like hitting the reset button...but I think i'm getting the hang of it!
