Well you could e-mail and write to friends and family. you could also find things that will ceep you busy and ceep your mind off of things... clubs are a great way to ceep you busy and you could also find a hidden talent along the way!

Get out of the house and go do something fun with your friends. Create some memories and when you think about Cape Cod, just remember all the fun you've been having at home in Vegas with your friends. Good luck!

I live pretty near the Cape, and I went there a lot as I was growing up (we used to stay in a cottage next to a lighthouse), so I can sympathize.

There's no easy cure for homesickness. I can tell you that my family moved away from Massachusetts when I was in second grade, and when I finally graduated from college I moved to Boston. Presumably you don't want to wait that long.

All I can suggest is to decorate your room Cape Cod-style. There are lots of Cape Cod souvenirs; maybe you have some. Or maybe you could make stuff, or buy it over the web. Even computer wallpaper of the Cape might help. You can get THAT easily enough by doing a Google image search for Cape Cod!

You could also easily make a Cape Cod screensaver using your own photos or ones from the web.

There are sound generator programs that make ocean surf noises, and I think relaxation CDs are sold with ocean sounds. That might help, too.

Or it might make the homesickness worse. You never know. In that case, you should just try to keep yourself active, and look forward to the times when you can actually get to the Cape, or move there.

But you'll need a lot of money if you plan to get a house there some day. Houses are INSANELY expensive in Massachusetts!

Good luck!
