little bit of a pity thread sorry...

why is it when you get sick your homesick?

I have strep throat and had to go to the doctor (first time without my mum), two nurses made me cry, seperate nurses, seperate times. Then I go and drop my anti biotics all over the cement floor at work and burst into tears right as my boss walked in which freaked her out, then my co-worker refuses to go on lunch for an hour but wont let anyone else go, so everyone else goes hungry....cow. Then two of the people in my drama club both got all snarky at me because one left rehersal early (I didnt notice) and missed the messege that the rehersal for Thursday was changed so she didnt need to come.... apprently Im a slave and a mind reader and physic to

I've been here almost 6 months now, the longer im here the more homesick I get... although ive made a few friends here, there nothing like the friends I had at home, and those at home are strained to because of the distance. I knew it would be hard and lonely, but its finally dawning on me, that it IS hard and it IS lonely. :(

I miss my friends, my old coffee shop, my ward dances( rocking out to 80's rock the boat), my family haha just about everything. Im lucky im not going back anytime soon Id get really fat on the food I miss :D

I dont know why im feeling so sorry for myself... I could go back if I wanted to, its a bit of wanting to have my cake and eat it to I suppose. Im hoping its because im sick....I guess ill sit here and listen to my 80's soft pop and wallow :p

Eh, I get kinda homesick on weekends. You'd think, being in college, there'd be stuff to do on weekends. Hell no, not at West Chester University! Nearly everyone who goes here is ridiculously close to home. One of the girls next to me lives 8 minutes away. Sometimes during the WEEK she goes home. One Thursday, she was going home and she said to the other girls, "Call me if anything goes on, I'll just come right back!" I mean, why the hell even live in a dorm if you aren't going to actually live there? This campus is DEAD on weekends. Since it's a four to one girl to guy ratio, there are few guys to befriend here. The couple of guys I'm friends with go home every weekend for some reason or another. My best girl-friend here goes home every weekend but she works so at least she has a good reason. Another friend goes home every weekend because she thinks theres nothing to do. Gee, maybe it's cause everyone else goes home too. If people stayed this place would be cool on weekends.

I can't get into the parties here because most of them are at the frats and, being a guy, I'm not allowed in frat parties. Unlike a lot of other schools, my school actually enforces it's dry campus policy. My one friend at a different dry-campus school says they play beer pong in their rooms with open doors and the cops on patrol don't stop them when they catch it. Here, we've actually created a police program specifically to catch underage drinking and drinking on campus. Where were the cops when some girl got attacked by the parking garage? Where were the cops when another girl was attacked right in the middle of campus? Where are the cops when people's rooms are being broken into? Oh, that's right, going after college kids trying to have fun. By preventing drinking on campus, it's supposed to reduce muggings, assaults, rapes, etc. on campus. But who are the one's being busted? The ones who wouldn't commit those crimes! Not the ones who are actually dangerous. S.I.P.S. is a load of crap.
