I kind of know what you mean. Living in Marshfield was tough at first because I felt like I was missing out on so much. Eventually I grew to enjoy the solitude when my roommates were away and I had the house to myself. I loved the sound of church bells outside my window on Sunday morning, the long walk or bike ride to the grocery store or through town where the only things I could hear were the birds.

It took a long time to get to that place, many homesick tears and bemoaning the lack of social life that I didn't really have back in Madison anyway. Looking back, I'm glad I had that experience since now I am living in a room with my sister and have almost no privacy, ha ha.
