I bought a sweater.

And then I came home and sat on the floor and cried and I don't know why.

There definitely hasn't been enough comfortable casual time. I actually hung out with Jeff a little bit yesterday before and after the sushi thing, and found that I don't even remember how to interact with people one-on-one. I'm so used to the big group socializing act of repeating my major and year over and over again, I can't remember what was cool about me or why I'm an interesting person, and I can't remember how to carry on normal conversations. I miss having friends. I know a ton of people here, but I feel that if I had a nervous breakdown at 3 in the morning, there's no one here I could call to wake up. I just don't know anyone that well yet. That sort of thing takes time to build up.

Anyway, a quiet evening of movies would be nice. Popcorn and a small group and a lack of conversation sounds, actually, fantastic.

Thank you again for checking on me. That means a lot.

No problem. You're a very cool person and I'm always glad to have you around.

You're going to be fine. You just need to adjust a little to moderate the stress. Everyone gets a little screwy under the pressure.

That's also probably why people get a little awkward socially. Lots of people can relate to that too.

The key is to realize that this all isn't going to mess you up in the long-term, and just kind of embrace it. So, you work in the office day and night for a week or two... when you come out, you'll have a bunch of people who just did the same thing to get a beer with.
