I have. Every damned day. I try to ignore it, but sometimes it just overwhelms me, like today. Apart from James, I don’t really have anyone to talk to here in New Zealand, and it kills me on some days. Don’t get me wrong, I love it here, but some days, I wish I had someone to talk to other than myself and my boyfriend. MSN isn’t quite the same.
Loneliness aside, i’m finally better after being confined to my bed for about a week. I still have a pretty persistant cough, which is slowly getting better, but frustrates the hell out of me walking to and from uni. I end up having what feels like an Asthma attack, simply because my body’s been so fucked over by the flu. Walking up a hill and not being able to breathe properly at the same time isn’t fun.
I’m slowly catching up with my uni work too. I covered three of the eightish lectures that I missed the other week, and i’ll be continuing with my work a little later tonight. Exhausting stuff! The other day I was so tired that I went to bed at 7.30pm and didn’t wake for 12 hours. It was ridiculous that I was still overly exhausted.
I might go out and buy a new computer this week. My PC was destroyed when the room all my belongings were being stored in back in Sydney leaked. It worked for a little while, before the graphics card conked out. I figured it’d be better and easier to buy a whole new computer, considering i’d need to replace more parts to make the computer better and functioning anyway. It’ll probably cost me around $1300, but I don’t know. The computer system that I wanted to get doesn’t seem to be available anymore, so I may have to call the company and see if they can custom build me one. Who knows, I’ll probably have to think about it some more now.

I find myself feeling lonely like that a lot. It fades with time, you adjust, etc. You kind of just have to force yourself into something new.
Glad you’re feeling better, even if you still have that cough. Have you tried checking with the doctor for anything that might stifle it?

I have one very severe case of what I don’t like to call social anxiety [anymore]. I don’t like crowds, people, stores, etc. but it’s more than that. I don’t like people in person at all. I don’t like parks, I don’t like even hanging out with my friends, people I’ve known for years. I hate mingling, talking on the phone–I do everything online because I feel safer. I can’t exactly describe it, but it’s been like this for years and frankly, I don’t see it as a huge problem and don’t really go out of my way in order to try to “fix it”. I hope everything works out for you.

I’m very sorry to hear about you being sick. I hope that you get better, if you’re not better already. I have asthma so I know what you mean about the walks and stuff. I can’t even imagine being sick and having to walk while being sick AND having asthma.

Oh goodness, having a flu that bad must have been quite tough on you. But at least you’re slowly getting back on the right track, yes? I’m sorry to hear about your large school load though. Bah. I don’t know if I could stand missing that much of school. Anyway, hope you get back on your feet soon!
