<p>Thanks so much for the responses everybody, your encouragement has been very helpful.</p>
<p>to UPDATE, I moved in this morning, and my mom left a bit ago to go back home. My room and apartment are very nice and one of my roommates are starting to move in. I already feel a lot better about this year…its amazing how big of a difference a room can make. The size of my single now is only a little bit smaller than my room last year. My mom thinks that coming home once a month is a good plan, which i agree with, but of course if I got sick again (cross your fingers that doesnt happen) then obviously thats a different story. My other friends move in tomorrow so it will be a quiet night but I’m ok with that. I didn’t feel anxious at all this morning as I moved in or even before which is surprising to me…the main indicator of that is stomach pain which i didn’t have much of!</p>
