The mood cycling seems to have levelled off a bit as the sobering effect of upcoming midterms sets in.
So I am boring, am never seen around campus (at least by people who think they are the epitome of cool) and have 'no interests', unless academic hermitage counts.
But it doesn't matter that much anymore, because I know, and my closest friends (who, after all, are the ones that matter) know, that it isn't true. And that would be enough, if I decide that it is. Still, it's tough work changing the habits of a lifetime, and I don't suppose I can claim success anytime soon, but it's a start.

i do not feel that you're losing out greatly. i have classmates who appaarently go off and get plastered every weekend. then they have to stay over nights to get their work done, silly buggers.
go on, be a geek if you want to. and should you not want to, then see about judiciously acquiring a life in between academia. i haven't really figured out to do this but i think it's theoretically possible. i get mildly distressed by small children calling me 'auntie'.'
i send love.

it is possible, and i know of plenty of people who manage it, but i'm nowhere near figuring it out either.
meanwhile i get increasingly reliant on a very small group of friends to sustain what little of the so-called social life i have here.
i'm beginning to realise that it's a rather risky strategy.
hoping for the best.

bet you your small group can't be smaller than my small group.
... it's like i have to take at least a year to actually make a friend or something.
