Well, it is the first day of a new year. I give a warm welcome to 2017, and a kick in the ass to 2016. Not that I regret 2016. It just didn't start very well (depression) or end very well (depression). Today, however, I woke up in a great mood and a ball of energy in my belly. Ah, the joys of being bipolar. I don't know how the rest of the day will go, but I am determined to make it a good one.
I will not rehash the bad times of 2016, but will instead focus on the good things. Number 1, I lost 55 pounds!! Number 2, out of 4 courses I took in college this year, I got 3 A's and a C+. The C+ was a computer science course. I would have done better, but all the tests were timed, and I don't do well in those situations. Number 3, I became a card carrying catholic. My faith is a little shaky right now, but I am praying for strength and guidance. Number 4, I am now working with a volunteer organization called Speak for Animals. I've been working with them on some marketing stuff. So far, it's very exciting and interesting.
As for 2017, there are a couple of big things I want to happen. I want to get on a stable medication regime. I was feeling really normal for a while, but things have started to get unsteady again. I can't concentrate like I want to, and all I really want to do is sleep most of the time. I have a new semester starting on the 9th, so I need to get it together. Next thing I'd like to do is get a job so I can move out on my own. This would enable me to get a pet and live my life the way I want. Maybe, I will make a few good friends, and even meet Mr. Right. Of course, I know the last 2 things aren't really anything I can do to facilitate them. I just have to do the best I can. I will continue to do the best I can in school, and not strive for perfection. I am taking 2 courses again, Nonprofit Admin: Human Resource Management, and an online course; Introduction to Art. I hope both courses are interesting and that I do well.
Anyway, that is all for now. Aside from the usual resolutions to get healthier and quit smoking, I have nothing else to report. I am still smoking, but I only have one pack left,and I think that will be it.
I'll let you know how everything goes. I am going to try to post more regularly to help clear my head. I think I'll go take a shower now and get all squeaky clean. Peace, Joy, Love - B
