The semester has started off well. I am not excited about my classes; however, everything else seems to be working out well. For starters, yesterday, I ventured over to Raleigh for work and even though I did not get any work accomplished, due to technical difficulties, I had a very pleasant visit.

Moving up to a place where I did not know anyone, I have found myself lacking in social interaction. Though I enjoy and require personal time, interaction with other people is necessary. Humans are social animals and would not survive without the assistance from others; it is necessary not only for your physical survival, but also for our mental growth.

Lately, I have found myself concentrating and overwhelmed with classes and work resulting in social interaction being pushed to the side. Regardless to say, the visit to Raleigh made me realize that. Additionally, the excursion reinstated that I am capable of easily interacting with others, a learned behavior I thought I was loosing.
