[Eugenia Gabrielov]

You pose a pretty neat question.

I'd say my big trial right now is my big move back to school - for the first time I'll be living off-campus instead of in the dorms, and really having to think hard about what happens when graduation comes, where I'll end up, etc. That and maintaining contact with family - my brother now lives across the country, and I'll probably be adventuring far, far away soon too.

My other trial, connected to the first, is maintaining contact with old friends. It's incredibly easy to let meaningful relationships just slip away, and much harder to rebuild them after you do.
