Social Creatures

Human beings are social creatures.  Even introverts need to interact with other people! 

I just moved to a new city in which I knew 4 people in the city and one in a nearby city.  Two are married (one is my little sister's childhood best friend 10.5 years younger than me anyway), one I learned is engaged when I moved up here,  and the other is... complicated.  I wish I knew how to uncomplicated it,  but I haven't figured it out yet and it's a two way thing. Slight tangent,  but the point is that  the three I can talk to all have their own families, and hence priorities. 

I am surrounded by young people where I live and age and maturity also change your perspective, and to some extent,  your focus. 

In this day of COVID-19, how is one expected to have a social network?  

I feel like there is something more I should be doing.  After all,  I'm studying,  sleeping,  eating, getting food,  cleaning and going on walks.  I have gone on a lot of walks.  I'm missing only one segment to cover a 4x3 block area,  and I've covered a few segments outside of that,  too. 

But what is there to do? I have a job.  I have learned already from being there and it's fascinating! If I could figure out how to tell when people are doing things on Zoom, I would love to teach that class in the future! 

I am in search of why Provo was stated to be my baby sister's best friend's favorite place on Earth.  I love BYU! One of my teachers is bringing me a donut so I don't have to walk to their drive by donut stand.  It's incredible that someone would do that! I don't think I've ever had a teacher look out for me like that! And just because I can't drive! I was floored and so entirely elated when I read her offer this afternoon!

Hopefully going to sleep will clear my head of my nephew's favorite song and a few other lingering - and rather depressing - thoughts.  Tomorrow shall bring better focus and maybe a few answers as I search for educational material to evaporate,  read through a very long syllabus for an accounting class and try to set up my computer to be ready for the upcoming week! (And probably get started on next week!)
