You know what I'm struggling with? I still goof off and stay up late like I'm in school and have time to take a nap the next day. But I don't. So I'm just tired at work, and that makes the day so much longer. I tell myself I'll get to bed at a reasonable hour, but I hate being alone at night and so I just stay up because I can keep doing stuff that distracts me from being alone.
I enjoy living alone - I really do, but sometimes I do wish I had a roommate. Speaking of, the other big thing I'm struggling with is not having any close friends here. I've made friends now, people who I can hang out with and have fun, but when I'm bummed out I don't know who to go talk to besides Amber - thank God she's here. I miss you guys and that is one of the biggest ways I do.
I enjoy finally having money to go out and eat a lot though... :)
The craziest thing is that even though I though I knew that I wouldn't magically know what to do once I graduated, I still was holding on to this image that once you got out of school you were grown up and had all the answers. Yeah, right...

ahhh slipping out of that undergraduate sleep schedule is nigh unto impossible. i still stay up until at least 12:30 even though i have that 8 a.m. class. and most of the time it's just conan and karyn... it's not like there's anything going on for me to be awake. i just am.
if you're bummed out, write me a letter and i'll mail you back some pages from a hemingway novel with particularly depressing parts highlighted. that always does it for me. (LOLJK IT'S PROZAC)
but seriously, the process of /becoming/ close friends with people in your new town should be savored. it's this really intricate process that we all understand and can explain step-by-step but still have to live through again and again. there's something amazing about that, isn't there?
but what do i know, i'm waiting around to go back to grad school. PUT ME BACK IN THE WOMB! I'M NOT READY TO COME OUT!

Daniel, i'm sorry... you just don't have one... and let's face it, even if you did, Karyn's would be more cozy.
