So since I last wrote in my journal over six months ago, I have come to the U.S. and am living out my dreams. I'm living in the country I always wanted to live in, studying what I always wanted to study. I live in a dorm, work at an awesome work study job and spend most of my time studying. I got engaged! I'm getting married next year, some time in the summer. All around, life is looking good. I'm still going to therapy, though. It's weird- it's the first time I've ever been in therapy and there hasn't been a crisis to attend to! Maybe this means I can finally get down to the core of things instead of only dealing with what I need to survive the day.

What does all of this mean for my writing? It means I really should write more. Part of what I'm doing in therapy is starting to make a chronology of my life. I feel like this would be an excellent place to start to write my memoirs. God knows I have a lot of them. I made it a new year's resolution to write more often, but this semester has been so much harder than the first semester!! I got a 3.99 GPA the first semester of college, and didn't break too much of a sweat. This semester, however, is kicking my butt a little harder! Next week is Spring Break though, so I really want to write a bit. I've always wanted to write a poetry book entitled "The Biology Textbook." Weird, I know. I just really like biology, and I've noticed that a lot of my stuff has biology terms in the title. Like my latest, Hippocampus! I thought I'd sit down and plan that out.

Anyhow. Hope I'll see more of DA in the near future, and hope DA will see more of me. Have a great life, everyone!
