So other people have problems too!  And I thought I was the 
only one.  And heck, I don't even know you people.  

I'm trying to finish an incomplete.  What a drag.  

I agree with the person that said this was a bad spring.  It
has to be the worst one of my life.  Breaking up with my girlfriend,
feeling alienated and without anyone to talk to.  

But things are getting better.  There are always people to talk to.  I
was just to scared to open up.  It is great to have people to talk to
and to know that there are people with similar if not the same
problems.  I thought I was the only one stupid enough to make the
mistakes I do. 

One thing that has helped me is reading Jung.  He has some good essays 
on recovering from stress.  In general, the more I read or talk to people, 
the more "normal" I feel.  And the more normal I feel the more productive 
I am and the better about myself I feel.

Well, summer is coming up now.  I've got a good job and I will be living 
with some fun people.  Who knows, I might meet another girl and fall in 
love again.  And if I didn't get a D in 6.003, I might even be let into
the 'tute again next fall.

Well, back to my paper on "Evil and Decadence in Literature."  Just what 
I need to cheer me up.
