Luske's lurkings

I know I'm not supposed to write anything here, especially since I should be immersed in pharmacological mechanisms of actions, vasodilators, antiepileptics and so on. However, as I had a short break, and was lurking around on the wonderful world wide web, I could not help but to notice that two of my friends both have written posts about friends just recently, and it god me inspired. to write about friendship:) 

I really appreciate my friends, but sometimes I am not very good at telling them that. Sometimes I get too immersed in something I'm doing, and totally forget about the "outside world" including my friends. You might say I take absentmindedness to a new level. Sometimes i forget all about them for just a bit too long, and it goes awkward when i try to recontact them, my excuse being "I was to busy with my head" Sounds like a mental diagnosis, right? And I get the awkwardness, I mean, usually, when people stop speaking to you for 2 months pr so, you assume that there sis something wrong somewhere.
Luckily most of my friends have gotten used to this by now, and just ignore this little fact.
Anyways, I was not planning to write a post about my absentmindedness; I wanted to write something about how much I really appreciate those I have.

When living most of the year in country that isn't yours, away from your "old" social network and family, you do get more dependent on your friends. When I get upset, I cannot just run home to mum to tell the tales of all my  woes; I would take too long, and I would've forgotten and suppressed all the things bothering me :P

(and yes, of course, I have both skype and msn, but one cannot expect ppl to sit in front of skype the whole day

 and wait for you to call).

Of course, having friends have other advantages to, don't think for a moment that the only advantage I see in friendship, is that I have someone to complain to!

Anyways, being down here, far away from home and the safe surroundings there, being surrounded by the constant stress of studying medicine makes you a bit more dependent on good friends than you otherwise  might be.

So, maybe not very poetic about friendship, but what I want to say is that i really appreciate all of my friends, even though I'm not the best to tell them that, or to keep in touch.
