It's reading week, so everyone went on vacation or left town. Due to financial reasons (saving up to buy furniture, etc. for my new place), I didn't want to go on vacation.
But I was going to go home to see my parents. Except that they've gone to Illinois for a week.
And I'd spend time with my girlfriend... except that she has also gone to Illinois for the week -- and for completely unrelated reasons.
And then there's my ex girlfriend whom I still talk to and I'm quite close with. She _lives_ in Illinois.
The end result is that I'm here all by myself. Alone. Friends gone. Family gone. Girlfriend gone. The only person here is my old landlady. I'd rather talk to a rock.
I'm going skiing and dancing this weekend. But for today and tomorrow, there's just NOTHING. I've done some school work and I'll probably do more. But there are no lectures this week (obviously) and no particular pressure to get anything done.
There's only so long I can go without human contact.
Life certainly wouldn't be worth living entirely alone. Now I feel really bad for elderly people who are single and have no real family.
It's no wonder we all take relationships so seriously... sure, sex feels good. But sex gets boring after a while. It's really the partner in our lives that we crave.
True, no one wants to be needy. After all, who wants to be with someone who constantly needs attention, validation, and approval. But on the other hand, we all need a certain level of human contact. No matter how strong you think you are, try spending a week in isolation...
Well, my landlady is doing laundry now. That's the most exciting thing that's happened all day.
I think I might go for a swim... at least there might be a few people at the campus pool.
