having a really bad mental health day. It is stifling to be in a town where the closest thing is 30-40 minutes walk away and I don't have friends and so I wind up going to my computer.
and taking walks.
d not actually doing ANYTHING.
I can't use dad's car because I'm not insured for it.
I can't get him to drive me most places because I feel bad.
It's frustrating and I feel stagnant and I want to go home.
At least here you do have the bus system.
Yeah. 
And I need to get a plane ticket at some point.
Yes. Until now you haven't sounded in any hurry to get back though. Think about a date. You might want to ask Jess to get you a good deal, though i will pay for it.
Okay.
I've been wanting to go back somewhere in middle- august.
Ok. Again, you may want to talk to Jess. She's a whiz at finding flights. I'm not....
Have you signed up for school?
Yeah, I signed up for school.
feeling a little better now that the cat is cuddling me and I've taken a walk and drank some water.
Water is good. In the summer, if you feel bad, the very first thing to do is down a big glass of water.
Did you sign up for financial aid?
I sent in my fafsa and my deadline for financial aid is the 20th of august.
I'm still looking at grants.
Ok. You know you can write the school counselors for help even from out there? (Yes, I know I'm momming. sorry....)
Pell is the biggy and the most commonly sought.
Yes, I know, mom. <3
How's the new fridge?
Works GREAT. I walk to open the door and the cold rolls out to meet me. And it's so clean. And ICE! 
Lots and lots of ICE!!!
I'm looking forward to meeting it!!
I am fighting down more mommish comments. MMainly I'll be glad to have you here so you CAN meet it.
Last night I was wishing I could set up house inside the fridge.
I won't fit, and you can suffocate, but it seemed almost worth it.
Yes, mother. I'm sorry you're having a heatwave there. It's a little warm here but not super hot- 80s for a while.
We keep landing in the 90s. At least last week was endurable. And I am doing better by taking over the hallway.
I think I'm gonna stay here a lot of this week.
