I moved to the other side of Canada for my Master's of Library Science degree. I have made new friends, but miss the security of my best buds. I live alone, when for the past 4 years I've lived in full houses with lovely roomies.
I only have 13.5 more months of this program to go. Obviously, I will survive. But I'm feeling more sad, hopeless, and un-inspired than I have ever felt. I find myself becoming apathetic, willing myself to at least PASS my courses because I would like to have a job one day.
I know I'm supposed to find balance, eat/sleep well, exercise, and spend time with new friends. But I don't know how to defeat the way I feel in my classes. I've worked in a library and I love it - but this degree is sucking the life out of me. (I don't like my classes.)
Any advice?
EDIT: I'm feeling MUCH better, got a good night of sleep, I'm going to do some exercise today, I did a lot of studying (cataloguing!) and spoke to all my friends and studied with friends and ate fruits and vegetables and questioned and confirmed my goals, and started volunteering at a local library...
And I'm feeling so, so so much better. Thank-you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. You took a moment to advise a stranger, and you have no idea how truly appreciative I am.
