I chat regularly with my mates, get the local gossip, talk about the change in the bar scene, who their dating, movies, sports, politics etc.

Way ahead of you here. To the point that I think it might be a bad thing. With my girlfriend, instead of us both having the time for the wound to heal and us to accept that we're apart, we talk all the time... Great, except that it feels like she's here, and then when you realize you can talk to her but can't see her or touch her, it's even harder.

Finding friends is bloody hard, you're right. Where I am, the same thing...guys I would never hang out with at a bar back home. Seems like I'm the only cool, sensible, logical, intelligent guy here. Sounds familiar doesn't it.

Very. I'm working on it though. I just find it hard to motivate myself to go out with the people I
do know because I know that half the time I'm not really going to enjoy myself with them anyways. Which means I don't meet anyone new. It's a vicious cycle.

Make a plan to go home for at least 2 weeks during Christmas/New Years...even if you have to miss a couple days of classes. If you are feeling blue now...holy moly, it will be unbelieveably depressing during the holidays. I didn't go home my first year at Christmas...I will NEVER do that again.

Can't. Girlfriend is coming for a week, then the parents are coming here for a week. It'll be nice, but I do kinda wish I was going home for that time.
Thanks for the advice
