I have spent the past 3 1/2 months almost in isolation. no roommate, few friends. no obligations beyond class and no one would miss me there. a weekend passed when i departed from my room so little that on sunday,a friend asked me how my weekend at home was. finally home, finally needed. i strive for alone time but for so long i have actually been able to have it in abundance, and i think its been too much...to know that tomorrow morning, someone will be depending on me to pick them up, and that later on, someone will be anticipating my call makes me finally feel needed, and important.
