Stomach ulcers

My stress levels are so high lately that I'm quite sure that I have at least a million stomach ulcers forming inside me. Stupid people are giving me far too much stress over random messages and even my medication isn't helping to block out the noise.

To make things worse, I find out that the man I'm seeing broke up with his girl a week before going out with me after a four year relationship and then of course, there's the assignments, lectures and other unmentionable issues at the back of my mind. Goddess, I just want to go home. Life with Curly is so much easier and less stressful. In fact, I'm just tempted to get married for the sake of some form of stability in my life.

I'm extremely grateful to a shop owner whom I've recently become fairly good friends with. His wife and children are lovely, especially the two youngest ones. :) Makes me miss my own family who, as usual, are scattered all over the world. How different our lives are and sometimes, how I envy them. Nonetheless, I appreciate the fact that they take such good care of me. Hopefully, we'll keep in touch when I leave next year...
