Deperately reaching out

[skibunnyme]

I don't know what to do with myself. I feel very alienated. The prospect of going home on Thursday scares the shit out of me. I'm really terrified. I feel like I won't know how to function back in the U.S. I have to find my place again, with my family, my friends, at Bard...I'm so scared. I also desperately need some alone time. Which is why

My dear Jackie,
When you come back you will be different. I'm prepared for that. Your breakup and your time in Australia will have made you a little quieter and a little harder, I'm guessing. But you'll be fine here again, once you regain your bearings. You're alienated, yet you've gained connection- being in another country gives you a priceless second perspective on life. Or so I'm told. (And just think- here you'll finally have a single room, where you can have your space all to yourself.)
Don't worry about being "lazy." Everyone here has had their heads up their asses with finals, anyway. One more day.
We miss you too. I miss you. It'll be great to see you again. Do you still think you might be in NC this summer?

Call me when you get back into the states, will you? I miss your wisdom and your laugh. And I'll be in and out of Boston a couple of times over the summer, perhaps I could wander up to Maine or something. I miss you, and I'm sure that I could find something to talk about. Or to listen about, if you prefer.
