Two updates in a week, go me!

So I've kinda been in a just-Meghan mood lately. It's not that I dont want to hang out with anyone specifically, its just that I've been feeling most comfortable by myself. I cooked dinner for myself last night and it was really nice to just sit and have my dinner and chill out. Ive been reading my books for papers a lot and kinda doing some thinking about Rome and what being here has done for me. And I'm realizing that it has made me even more comfortable with myself and with being by myself. Of course having my friends and family around is wonderful, but it's been a comforting thought to know that I can do the whole foreign country thing on my own, if I have to, or even if I want to. I dunno, it seems like of hermit-ish, but I don't mean it to be that way. I guess lately my reaction to the stress of being here and missing home and dealing with new stuff everyday has been to turn inward and remind myself of why I am here and what I am doing with my time here.

Ok damn that seems really philosophical for a tuesday. or anyday. odd.
I think I might just end this journal before I get any sillier.
