I've decided, mostly in protest to the graduates that have been roaming the Muhlenberg campus for the past month, to write my UE this month on the suburban phenomenon, the way that kid retreat back to their homes after they've spent four years of college away. For most, I think this has to do with money, but also comfort. You're starting a new

I think it's a really interesting concept worth exploring, because I had never thought about it before, but now realize that it's true. I mostly want you to write it so I can read it, actually. :)

I've kind of resolved myself to the fact that I may very well end up living at home for at least a few months after I graduate, unless I happen to get into one of the programs I'm applying for, and I think that being abroad had a lot to do with my finally being okay with that. For me, it's 100% a logic thing; if you have a place to stay within commuting distance of the world's most eligible city that costs literally 10% of what you'd pay living in said city, why not? For me, and maybe not for everyone, comfort has little to do with it, and I think I'd be far more comfortable living on my own. Just a little poorer

Looking forward to the letter. We need to do that again. Getting mail from you was an automatic upper in my day.

But, to the issue at hand: I think part of it is skewed by the fact that I keep seeing this guy that I had a regretable episode with. It was one of those shitty half-dating experiences that mostly was a projection of my insecurities, and seeing it everyday for the first three weeks of school was just not something I was into. Of course, it's not as serious as I've just written it to be, but more of a nuisance to have to make small talk with him or try to avoid him (depending on my mood). Anyway, the most logical way for me to alleviate this is to back it up by facts and argue his existance in my Muhlenberg world.

It's what I do when I'd perfer not to have people feelings.
