Tonight was fun. I went out to Packards with a bunch of Seniors in the house. I really like the Wilson seniors, they are very friendly. It was a good night. It was nice to be asked along.
At times when I feel let down, I find that there are plenty of other people out there who are supportive. I received a gift in the mail today from a friend who graduated in 06 ,whose dad died around the time that my Mom died. It was really sweet of her to remember me. She wrote on the card that she knew not having my mother at graduation would be hard for me and that she wished that it was a good day despite that. I also received random gifts of appreciation from my advisor and my boss this week. It is nice to feel not so alone.
The next few weeks are going to be hard for me. The anniversary of my mom's birthday is in a week and graduation, one of her last wishes before she died was to see me graduate from college, is also coming up.
Don't tell me "I don't have real problems to deal with" cause I do. Yes, I'm in grad school and I have a summer job, and honestly those have been the things that keep me going, but that doesn't mean that this time of year isn't a struggle for me too. One reason why I'm happy to leave this place is because I can leave the painful associations of my mom dieing and the depression that followed it my first year with Smith. I don't have to return to another fall where I am constantly reminded of the painful events of my first year.
I'm glad that I am blessed with many friends who are supportive and do not dismiss me as "petty."
