Knight Shamalamalamalon's "The Village." <br /><br />I think the constant working is what makes it harder. Sometimes it seems like the whole world is passing by while you're in your office working on who knows what...nolacoasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382571416341492754.post-86370488635204426202007-04-01T12:41:13.000-04:002007-04-01T12:41:13.000-04:00I hear ya. I don't know how a world with 6 and...I hear ya. I don't know how a world with 6 and a half billion people can feel so lonely, but it does sometimes. I agree with Peppered though -- I think it comes in bursts and spring seems to be the worst. But you are going to India! <br /><br />I haven't left yet, but i predict it will be like high school and undergrad. We lose touch with our aquaintances, and we miss 'em real bad, but our closest friends become our family. Like you said yourself -- these are the people where you don't have to talk every day or even every week, but you know they would jump on a plane and fly across the country for you if you asked. <br /><br />Also I think the internet helps a ton. We've been talking, too, about collecting folks in one city and building an intentional community. just think -- to live with our friends forever! Built in support network, fewer resources required, and automatic babysitters. I'm very fond of the idea....arh006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382571416341492754.post-38534852513561378682007-04-01T11:36:39.000-04:002007-04-01T11:36:39.000-04:00Yeah, that's good to hear.
Actually if there...Yeah, that's good to hear. <br /><br />Actually if there's one thing I have to say about grad school, it's that I am constantly doing new things. Meeting new people, working on new projects, having new summer jobs, etc. It's hard to get bored here.nolacoasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382571416341492754.post-59029297535809554602007-04-01T10:17:59.000-04:002007-04-01T10:17:59.000-04:00Don't worry, the number of folks that leaves i...Don't worry, the number of folks that leaves isn't steady, but seems to come in spurts. This year is tough for me, mostly because there seems to be another cohort leaving.<br /><br />One thing that makes up for cool peeps going is new peeps coming in, and even if folks move away, you'll still have those friends for life (or at least the next five years). My social group has turned over a number of times since I've been here (like, I've only known Gabe/Alvin for 3 years, but it seems much longer) and it's been a very natural, organic process.pepperedjanenoreply@blogger.com
