Now that Derek lives in Austin, Jennifer's spending more nights at his apartment than in our dorms, and I've noticed that lately I find it hard to be alone. Even sitting in the company of silent strangers tending to their own work is so much better. I have plenty of work that needs to get done, but when I'm alone, I don't want to do it. Instead of being a quiet time to focus, it becomes this deafening silence that keeps me from concentrating on what I need to. I think being alone makes me realize how lost a person can feel sometimes.
