Isolation

School has been isolating, this has been the most challenging aspect of it, (the workload and learning stuff is different).  Moving away from "home" to go to school with very few peers in town who I don't have time or resources to see is really wearing me down. This isolation is different from homesickness, more a longing to have some waking hours for leisure activities with the friends I do have here, conversation with people with whom I have common interests and life experiences. Turns out that's a tall order.
