School-sickness with a side of writers' block

I WANT TO GO BACK TO HAMPSHIRE.

I want foliage and cider donuts, creative minds and packed dance parties in the mods. I want to sit down with my wonderfully kooky advisor and plan my future because it's something worth planning. Being home is not working out right now. I have a constant tension headache and I'm tired all the time. I know I only have five days left here, but it feels like forever. I think I can describe all this as school-sickness, which would be a cousin to the homesickness I felt as summer camp when I was thirteen, but this is kind of a different animal. School-sickness is agitating. The stomach pains of homesickness are all up in my head now.

I'm trying to write my Div 1 essay for my portfolio, so I can move on to Div 2 once school starts. But alas I've come down with writers' block as well. Every time I sit down to write, I either end up writing something that makes me sound like a total spaz, or I can't write anything at all. I have, however, begun to compile some work samples from last year to put into my portfolio. A lot of it is damn good. Weird to think I was productive not so long ago. Hopefully the Pioneer Valley air will still be as motivating as I remember.

Oh and before I go to either take a catnap or get work done, I wanted to say thanks for all the support I've gotten these past few weeks with my dog getting sick. Said support, while somewhat solicited on my part, is much appreciated. A lot is up in the air with her health now, and she still can't walk or stand on her own (sometimes not even with help) but if it is her time to go (which it shouldn't be) she'll at least go at home.
