A Little Blue

I'm a little blue today. I started Department Head school and I'm in Newport all alone. Greg, Sue, Eric and everyone have gone back home and I am the only one remaining here. I feel so alone and blue and down and depressed. I know it will pass, but it doesn't make it any easier on me right now. It also doesn't help that today, the first day of DH school, is also the first day I'm alone in RI. What can one say? There isn't really much for me to say other than I will persevere, get this over with and put it behind me. Then I can go back to Norfolk with all of my friends and enjoy life a little more (until I deploy for six months). These curve balls life is throwing me are starting to get annoying and to eat away at the very essence of my being. I just want some down time, want some time away from all of this stuff, time to get in touch with who and what I am, along with those that I love. I guess that is a pipe dream so long as I am in the Navy. I can only hope that eventually I will be able to do such--before I die of old age or something.
