Does your college offer work-study jobs? Especially ones that would continue between terms? One of the things I did to avoid going home, besides taking a summer class, was to work shelving books in the library. It was a great job for me: cool inside, interesting books to look at, and largely solitary work--very low stress. And the library was open all year.
Yes, they do offer work studies that last year long. I could probably convince them that I need to come back less often. Some of my friends also live in Boston year so I wouldn't be lonely. I'm also going to seriously try for several Christmas gigs (a great season for trumpet players) so I can avoid that break too.

I obviously can't keep doing this because each time I try to go back there, I've been much worse. I worry about how bad it'll be next time. This can't become a new thing.
Thanks for this!
