and everyone else, after you read this, post on how your life is going.
OK. So, I'm starting classes this semester--it'll be at a tech school, which kinda sucks, but if I do summer session I can probably get into a 4 year school for transfer by the fall, then get a degree in about 1.5years or so.
I'm moving! I found a different apartment..smaller, older, but in a better neighborhood, so I'll be closer to fun stuff to do.
I have friends! Well..a couple. But they keep me entertained, and they're making an effort to help me get out more so I can meet people. Its really a good thing.
Some days really suck. I mean--they really, really suck. But I feel better now, even off medication. And I feel older, somehow--more mature, maybe--so that makes everything easier to deal with. Its like..things happen, but they dont freak me out as much. Maybe its just adjusting to being "different".
I'm trying to lose weight/get fit. Its a process, that for sure, but just starting it is making me feel more in-control of my existence, which is always a good thing. Also, I'm hoping that as my life gets better, food in general won't be such an issue for me..I'll find other avenues for fulfillment.
And I'm writing again! I actually let my friends read my writing, which is a definite change from the past. My problem is actually finishing the short stories I start. I'm going to have to do that.
OK..now everyone else out there...update us all on how you're doing in these first few days of 2006.
Thanks for reading!
