Here's some tidbits of what I've done so far:Sunday: I did that weird thing where I would get homesick but then not homesick but then homesick again. I walked around my new campus. Then all the dorms got together to play get-to-know-you games.Monday: First there...

Hello all. Long time no see.I've been quite inactive this past summer so I decided to give an update.In July I began to see a therapist because my brain hasn't been good to me.

She recommended me to a...
