I think with the stress of assignments, most of my things are packed up, ergo living in an empty room, my best friend working away and another close friend living a fair distance away... I can't help but feel a little disconnected from the world.
I mean, yes, there's friends I have online that I speak to... but they, in a sense, keep me connected to a virtual world. They, unknowingly, keep me house bound. That in order to socialise with them, I have to stay plugged into some electronic device and interact with their virtual avatar, in a virtual world. I do appreciate their friendship and support, but I crave for a world I can touch.
