you're not drowning. you're making too much sense for someone who is drowning. you haven't been in alaska all that long. i say try to find a way to make it work. when you are away from home, you go through cycles of ups and downs. trust me, i know what i'm talking about. :) really check all your options out there. find out what possibilities there are to renting a non-college apartment and try to get a couple of guys/gals in on the deal. doesn't matter if you know them. put a note on a notice board or something. money. is there a way to borrow money from a family member for some time to make up the difference? i don't mean a big chunk at once, i mean just enough to cover the basics. when cash is a bit tight, you learn what you can live without, as you've already experienced with the not eating out all the time.
anywho. i'm rootin for you to make it work a little longer in alaska. i always wanted to visit/live there. don't give up. if money is the major problem there are ways to make it work.
well, money is a big factor...but I think some of the underlying psychological ones consist of, it's nice and all, but I've got nothing to do. I have school, but when i'm not doing that, or working part time...there is jack shit to do. I don't drink all that often, and really don't want to spent the money to go to a bar and drink. That's it...-shrugs- So i am considering the possibility that I'd have more stuff to do back east.
not to mention, this is not something I HAVE to do. I mean...it is one of those things where if I don't like the situation, I can adjust it accordingly to one that I do like. i mean. I don't like certains aspects of being up here. There are other aspects that I do like. it really kind of comes down...do I want to put mysel through this or not.
you'll be thankful you did. look. i mean what i say about the cycles of highs and lows. it's like a sine curve. you're going through a low. it'll get better. i say. it takes time to make friends. time and effort. i managed to do it somehow in germany even though i didn't speak the language when i first came.
still... i am me and you are you.
i don't mean to be pushy or make you feel like a failure. i only want to offer sound advice from someone who has been in a similar situation more than once in her life. the rewards are worth it if you make it work. i won't be offended if you don't take my advice.
don't give up just cause you're feelin low. you'll get the high's again.
btw. are you gonna be in the va area come christmas? can i get you anything from the fatherland?
