i've realized today that i'm lonely. was listening to the first-year kids talk to each other about what they do in the evenings and on weekends...blah. i want to be going for tuesday night dinners on university blvd with friends, too! do you realize i've been here two years and i haven't been to even half the establishments on university blvd? and it's only two blocks long! i feel i have not properly taken advantage of my college student status, and that's sad. what's sadder is that our studio culture, half-assed as it was last year, has shriveled up to nothing this year (for me, at least). no one hangs out in the grad lab, and that makes it hard for impromptu dinners together. plus there's not much chemistry between any of us when it comes to making friends that are more than acquaintances. there's too much age gap, familial responsibility gap, culture gap, or financial distress to gather everyone together and say "let's go out!" they would all smile politely and say "sorry, i can't" if i suggested such a thing. and did i diversify and make acquaintances outside of the architecture building? of course i didn't.
and my boyfriend, who would take me to dinner promptly if i complained about any of this, is 180 miles away, and i will not be seeing him this weekend.
yes. i am lonely for in-this-town friends.
what am i going to do about it?
