asking for support

I leave in 10 hours for the first chunk of my new work program. 

I'll just state that I need (and will continue needing) the love and support of my friends, especially for the next three weeks.

So if you're thinking of me, send me a note - remind me of the good things, the happy things, or anything that you think will keep me connected to you, to home, to the things that I love.
