It’s weird being around so many people all the time here. It’s just kinda different. I guess I’m use to spending a lot more time in a small group of few people. Usually consisting of at least one girl and one guy. I haven’t really hung out with a big group of girls since highschool, or really big groups in general. I forgot about the gossip and group mentality and all that. It’s not bad, just kinda weird. And it’s weird that there will be 3 more weeks of it, and not having a good guy friend around to sort of balence things out a bit. They’re are 2 guys here but it’s not really the same.
And it’s not really the same just talking to Zach occasionally, and somewhat awkwardly, online or on the phone. I seem to have issues keeping up with people who are not within my physical proximity, but I suppose that’s a pretty common issue since most friendships are started by availability. But you would think that with all this fancy pants technology that supposedly brings everyone together that the physical space would not be an issue. I can call Zach or text him or IM him or email him or even video chat with him.. but it’s still kind of hard for me to not feel somwhat awkward about it because of the physical distance. Or maybe it’s more because of time zones making it difficult to sync up.
I’m doing well though. Just sort of missing people and sort of wanting the next 3 weeks to go by a little faster. We just got back from visiting Pisa and Parma yesterday. New flickr pictures are up from that.. so I guess check them out if you want.
