I have not posted anything of note recently. I've had the opportunity, but honestly, I've had nothing good to say. I could talk about how hard the adjustment to living on my own has been, but I think that's depressing. I could talk at length about the isolation I feel from my family. I spent an hour crying on the phone with my mother this past Monday talking about that. I could talk about how much I hate NC State sports, and how they seem to be the priority to some people, and not family. I could talk about how I went to church this past weekend with Mel and Lyne, and how much I enjoyed it, even if I did cry through almost the entire sermon. I could talk about how I've been busting my ass at work because I'm running a two-person test by myself now, and most days I feel like I make no progress at all. But I do have something good to say - I'm so glad that I have finally gotten the fuck out of Charleston. I am so glad that I finally get to spend much needed quality time with my family. In short, when I have something positive to say that won't drag you down into the mire with me, I'll post it here. Until then, bear with the silence.
