1500 Miles Away

Let's see...It has been 2 months since I last posted. I kind of forgot I had this thing.

I'm in Montana right now, and it is awful. This is m favorite place in the whole world, with the exception of my bedroom at home, and I can't stand being here right now. I miss my friends. I miss intelligent conversation. I miss being able to express my political view without being called stupid. (My aunt and her husband think that anyone who is a Republican in mentally challenged, and I have definite Republican leanings.) I miss school. I even miss math class. I was supposed to go up north to the condo with my cousin to ski this weekend and I obviously couldn't go. I especially miss One Acts, and Chapman gave away my spot (PSM again) because I'm missing a month of rehearsals.

I also feel like I've managed to lose my friends. I am completely aware of the fact that there are only so many times I can leave and come back, but I was losing my friends long before I came out here. I don't fit in very well with the original group because I like talking about other things than pregnancy scares, shoes and boys. The other group doesn't even think of including me, and because of this, I feel like I've lost my best friend. Oh well. Once I get home, I only have 6 more months before I leave again-this time permanently.

I'm completely alone right now, but that's okay. I've gotten to spend some quality time catching up with my God, which needed to happen. Unfortunately, in this house, religion is the "opiate of the masses," to quote Marx. I'm so used to being in a house where things like "talk to Jesus" and "offer it up for a soul in Purgatory" are regular comments.

2 weeks and 6 days until I can come home.

i MISS you, Natalie!!!!

It's so weird, going to my locker without you there. :[

I hope you come home soon, but I ALSO hope even more that you keep your head up until you do come home.

I'm sorry you're not having a good experience while you're in Montana, Natalie. We miss you and you haven't lost all of your friends.
