School has been crazy, to say the least. In the past 3 months, I've had no life outside of studying. I expected hard work in grad school, but this past 3 months has been the most stressful/busy I've ever been in school. Having survived that, I know I can do anything - but I also feel it took over my life. I lost the balance - I no longer go out and do things with anyone (or even by myself).
It sounds totally emo and lame, but earlier today I felt this deep loneliness/sadness. I miss home. I miss my friends and family. I've made some great new friends in Chicago, but I've only known them for a few months and these friendships are mostly superficial. Not to mention, I totally feel like I don't have a life outside of the program because everyone I know is in the program. Luckily for me, my super awesome best friend Derek called. We hadn't talked for awhile because we had both been so busy. I miss him SO much. It was so good to talk to him. I forget how he can make me feel happy through just a short conversation.
Now I feel all "rejuvenated" to.... do some more homework. Just two more weeks of school, and I'll be going home to visit friends and family. I miss my family, especially my little cousins. I can't wait to see Vancouver - I even miss the rain a little. I just got to put in some extra effort to make sure I do super well in all my classes this term!
