So apparently part of this whole adulthood, post-grad school thing involves your friends moving to various states far far away and you (meaning me) feeling very lonely. I'm not very impressed with that whole bit

I felt the same way about East Lansing even my senior year in college. Between working a ton and doing my thesis, etc., I didn't feel like I was in a college "mentality" anymore, and I felt kinda left out the whole time. I can totally sympathize.
That's how I felt my last year in Lansing, that so many people had just up and moved away. Now I'm trying to make all new friends in Ann Arbor, and I just don't have the time or stamina any more. MSW programs are not cut out for social time.
Kate,I can identify even though I still am in college. I think it has more to do with what life stage you are in. For instance, I love the girls in my program, but on average they are about 3 years younger than me and have political/religious ideas that are 180 degrees from mine. Each weekend they go out to this place called "Capital City" and dance...then they go to a huge party where they know no one. I really like to go to someone's house where there are less than 10 really good friends, drink, and catch up with what is going on in their lives. Is there anyone at work that is close to your own age? What about any of the people in Phil's program? I miss you so much! Sometimes I take things (and people unfortunately) for granted until they are no longer a part of my everyday life. :-( I need to work on that.
And yes! Come back to livejournal! It is a great way to be connected with people who have moved away.
