Ahh. I wondered if it was something like this.  I do know what you mean -
I spent a semester in London while I was in college, with none of my close
friends there.  I only got through by keeping very busy, and spending way

even through all of the loneliness and stuff, because I got to see a whole

Basically, it's been eight months since I've moved here, and I don't have
anyreal thing that would make me want to stay, other than material stuff -
which, whatever you say or think, don't really cut it.

No, you're right, they don't. Not at all.

Wow. I really hope you do find reasons to enjoy your stay here.  I'd help,
but changing the weather is beyond my abilities at this point in time.
Maybe you should learn to ski?
