A Thousand Times Yes - Yes Michigan.
Sometimes I feel homesick for no real reason. Tonight I went out with Israel and my professor Duff to drink and eat, and had a pretty damned good time. Duff is a very respectable person and seems to do a lot with his time. I usually fall short for projects in his class and feel bad. He also just seems to have his shit together and makes me feel like a bum (which is probably a good thing). I feel busy even though I'm still wasting so much time, and it makes me wish I was back home with less responsibility and I could devote 4+ hours of my usual 20 waking hours to reading and enjoying the simple pleasure of wasting time guilt free.
It's also somewhat depressing to know that he is no better off than myself in his love life persuits. Just divorced this year, and from what I can tell really looking for female companionship, he seems to be in a better state than I view myself in 10 years. If someone I respect so much doesn't have that right, what hope do I have?
Poo to pessimism though. I may have trouble with girls, and not really be close to many people, but I'm healthy, and fairly happy. Complaining would just be whining, and emo kids whine.
I don't wanna be emo.
