already much better
Sorry to be so venemous in that last post. I do love my friends, and understand that you were frightened. I am sorry if I made people feel badly. Especially those of you who were just asking my sister how I was doing - that was no problem. I expected that. I just am bored, and miss my home, etc.
I feel much more emotionally complex about the whole situation than my first blog appears. I felt sad for the first time yesterday - melancholy, lost, etc. Writing an angry posting really helped.
I am ready to go home. I am very sorry for my friends from the 9th Ward, Bywater, Slidell, and St. Bernard Parish who lost everything. I am lucky that my home and my school are completely fine and life will be normal again in a few months. I met so many wonderful people in New Orleans after the hurricane and look forward to working with my nieghbors to rebuild a better place. It is both a devastating and exciting time.
I am just impatient to get busy. I’m not used to being so idle. I miss everyone.

Maybe we can start a support group for those who had their 2L years disrupted by September disasters…

Machelle,
I love you, and fully understand where you’re coming from. You are, believe it or not, human and such a creature is not always defined by one underlying emotion. In fact, if you were devoid of conflicting feelings and points of view, you wouldn’t be my friend. You would be my decision-maker, seer and private banker for life. “Invest in this stock now or I leave you!”
Whatever you want, your friends want it for you more, but are entitled to worry. Forget that part of us and go on with your life. For my part, I’m glad you’re feeling better and aware that the emotions will go up and down for a while. Can’t wait to crush you in a giant hug, ma belle!
