It's been 12 days since I arrived, and to be honest... I'm not coping well. Both mentally and emotionally.
According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, we humans need to fulfill 5 needs - Physiological, Safety, Belongingness, Self-esteem and Self-actualization needs. The most important starts from the bottom of this pyramid.
And right now, I can safely say that my basic needs are met. However, the lack of having a social life is taking a toll on me. MY PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS ARE NOT MET. I mean I'm not even asking for a large group of friends to go out with every other day. I just want some basic human interaction... with a HUMAN BEING, and not my laptop. :(
I probably sound like a desperate psycho now, but it is really not easy being alone in a foreign country. At least people in prison get to interact with each other during meals, I don't really get to talk with anyone. But of course I am grateful for the friends who try their best to talk to me over whatsapp/skype/facebook every now and then, you guys are the bombdiggity! It does help me cope a little day by day.
Orientation is next week, so I hope that everything goes well then. Gah :(
