Yes, I'm depressed. And I have been for a while.
It's a culmination of different factors. The main driving force right now is Hurricane Katrina. I'm not directly affected by it, but I know that I'll be affected somehow once I see the gas prices soar to $4/gallon. Every hour I find myself looking at cnn.com and reading up on the news stories behind Katrina. Yes, I know that help arrived. But still, these people have suffered way too much. They won't have their city unflooded for 3 months. Homes are totally destroyed. People are waiting to be rescued, get medical treatment, eat, drink. This is coming from a person whose thoughts of the 9/11 tragedy weren't as depressing. I hope that these people won't be as screwed for the rest of their lives.
August has passed, now it's September. Several weeks later I will be going back to school. Why can't I ever be content with what I have? I have a chance to tutor for money and intern in a research lab. And yet I still long for more opportunities? Don't even get me started on how I long for a significant other. He was part of the reason why I was able to balance things out.
