im here for the first time in ... gak... 5 weeks... gak!!
how time flies.
so far the adjustment to grad school life has been difficult. i miss my family and friends. i miss the connections that i have at home. so far the people here haven't been as congenial as i would like.
*sigh*
i hope that everyone is doing well and i will echo the question of what is everyone doing for samhain?
bb,

Good to see you here. I'm sure that things will get better. It was certainly a major change for you. People can be ignored if they are that nasty, but how go the actual classes? Do you get much time to yourself, to just explore or relax at all? We miss you here, to be sure, but don't worry, we'll be here when you have time.
Samhain being on a work night for me, makes my plans a little more quiet than usual. Think I'll spend the time taking Kethry around, and try for a little quiet time at meditations....... maybe I'll go outside to the lodge and light the fires, but I think I'll be spending it pretty much with just Kethry and myself.

thanks for the kind responses.
i do actually manage to get time to myself. it often is spent walking to the store or in my room just reading or working on a paper or something.
i like some of my classes while some of them seem rather self-important emporer's-new-clothes type classes. i am sure that it is like that most any program one would undertake though so i try to just get through the crappy ones and relish every moment of the good ones.
my mother was just here and she says that i've changed and matured. she says that before i left i was tempramental and irritable. she says that i treated her with far more respect than i did before i left. while i dont remember maltreating her, somehow, sadly, i'm not surprised... i was in such a state before i left. it's strange. i had to leave home to become more grounded, more comfortable with myself. mom told me that when she was talking to the admissions director and that she had said i was quiet, organized and understated... it made my mom and me start laughing (as you, jadedsage, sister dear) can imagine...
i guess i've become myself only better. i wonder what changes the two years will bring....
as for samhain, i think i will take a drive on my own during the day along the coast. it is truly lovely and a great way to commune with nature. at night i believe there is going to be a party...
