Catching Up

So it's been about...six months since I last posted and I suppose certain things should be said about how life's been going in that time. To begin...

The whole residency issues from earlier this year have been resolved quite nicely. My mom and I both live in a very nice apartment complex and my "bedroom" is actually quite comfy. I was pre-emptively bitter about it just because it was annoying but once we got right down to it, it wasn't really as bad as it seemed.

The summer was largely uneventful and I was content with that. I'd had this ominous feeling that something terrible would happen this summer but I guess it didn't. Well, except for something my mom told me that I wish she hadn't, that made cry and that I'm not sure I should repeat on this blog. Suffice it to say, it wasn't a good thing. There was also the fact that my mom's boss is an asshole and decided that he couldn't afford to pay for health insurance anymore so she just wouldn't have any. And of course he didn't give her any kind of pay raise, so she can't even afford to get on her own. I'm good as long as I'm in school because I've got student coverage through the university, but once the year's over that's it. That wasn't so great but still not as bad as anything I'd imagined would happen. But other than that it was pretty good.

School's started back up and that's a mixed bag. I am glad to be back in an academic environment and back with all of my friends. But I'm a little on edge because I'm supposed to graduate this year which means that afterwards it's time to be a real adult. That's a little scary just because I hadn't really planned for it and so I'm not completely prepared. I have no sure thoughts about what I'm going to do once I'm not here anymore. I have to go to grad school at some point, but it's too close a time crunch to start applying for next Fall. I'll definitely have to spend a great deal more time thinking about that whole situation and soon too.

Also in the vein of school, I've gotten to go see my psychiatrist again. I'm kind of relapsing back into not eating or sleeping properly and I'm a lot more wired than I was. So, we agreed that I should double the dosage of my medication. Boy, let me tell you does that ever suck. Today was the first day I took the double dose and I had a massive anxiety attack, possibly the worst I've ever had. It actually made me sick and I was incapacitated for a few hours. I'm hoping that this doesn't happen everytime I take it, otherwise I will have to figure out something else to do.

Of course I'm still single although I guess it's getting a little more interesting. I somehow managed to get myself drawn into a love triangle that I don't want to be in since I'm not really into either of the people involved. But one guy likes another guy and asked me for advice and then of course the other guy just had to start throwing himself at me...it's all very awkward. But my hope is that they'll just start dating and leave me out of it. I suppose there a couple of potentials in the works, including my roommate's best friend, but I'm not sure how any of that will play out; I think my forward tendencies throw most guys for a loop. But we'll see...

I'm still broke and unemployed, but that's nothing new and it doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. I suppose it's all this recession business that will hopefully turn itself around soon. Otherwise, everybody's screwed.

I suppose that I should either try and get some work done or just go to bed instead of wasting time on the internet. So I'll leave this alone for now, but I'm planning to make a regular habit of coming back and updating. But at this moment, I think I've said enough.
