Homesick
I've been struggling with homesickness. I just miss New York.
I miss mass transportation, and the easy access it provides: To museums, stores, food...
and friends. I miss the nyc attitude. I miss some sense of shared experience, provided by living in new york. Different from the shared experience of going to grad school, or living in silicon valley. I MISS THE EDGE.
There is one second year student in my program who I met last year when visiting. For some reason I felt (and still feel) totally comfortable with him, and today he gave me a lift to the jewelry supply store. We were talking about driving (different from nyc right there), and that led to talks about the new york area. He grew up just a few towns away from me on long island, and we have people in common. He also went to a competitive east coast school, and he's a scorpio, just like me.
Are these the ingredients to someone who seems like home?
