Hiding until Summertime

So lately I've noticed that I have become extremely anti proactively social. It's not that I'm anti social, because I'm still open to talking to people who approach me or ask me questions, but I am not making much of an effort to make conversation with others. Even in Toastmasters, I used to hang around at the end and chit chat, now I just pick up my papers and up and go. Not really sure what's gotten into me, maybe it's S.A.D.

I used to think S.A.D. was just a made up symptom, that is, until I moved to Michigan. I definitely feel more depressed during the winter months here and so much better when we get the rare sunny day. It's hard to make an effort to connect with people these days, I think I've reached my threshold for trying. Hopefully getting away to the caribbean for a week will lift my spirits, and then I'll be able to handle the cold dreariness better when I get back.

It should definitely help. I feel much happier after going to mexico. We should buy a sunlamp and pass it around. well, maybe next year.
