generally, i can get by quite happily on my own. i even enjoy it from time to time. but at the moment, uni is leaving me feeling very lonely. i sit for 7 hours in a room with 13 other people i met 2 weeks ago. i dont know these people. my work related conversations with them probably amounts to 90 minutes a day. my un-work related conversations with  them will total <15 minutes a day. all spread very thinly. this is worse than being alone. alone i like. alone i can relax and not worry about the world. alone is fine. lonely sucks
