June, July, and the first couple of weeks of August. No computer. Depression. Oppressive heat. My grandpa died. No computer = no talking with friends back home. Many good friends all gone or preparing to leave. Yeah. Not my favorite time on the island.
Fortunately I knew there was a light at the end of August, and just kept trying to push through it all while looking forward to the future. I tried to treasure the present as well, but in general, the future was far more attractive. Since I'm a happier-when-busy social-butterfly control-freak it really didn't help that I didn't have any big projects to work on. I tried to go to the gym regularly and for long periods of time, but while that helped it didn't fix anything. Thank goodness those months are over!
