I wish that I was back home right now. I like school but we are all so busy now. I want to put mind to the matter and do well. I want to stay encouraged and understand that doing well in school is crucial. I feel that I am being pulled away and distracted from it and I want to re-focus on the task at hand.

I am also working through some emotional issues right now. I feel that I compare myself to others too much. I have unrealistic expectations about other people's attitudes and I wish that I was not so sensitive to it. I find it hard to open up to people around me and I want to feel assured that I am appreciated by others.
