It's been a while.
School leads to procrastination leads to increased usage of the LJ.
The run-down:
Decided NOT to change my major to nutrition after all. Eng lit with American Humanics certificate it is. It just makes much more sense that way. And it makes the next year and a half of my life actually seem feasible and, dare I say it, exciting. I always find a way to make things more difficult than they need to be, so I'm taking the first steps to recovery. "Hi, my name is Julie, and I'm a school/work/anguish/stressaholic." This year is going to be different.
AH is great, I'm really excited about it. The people are so nice. I got a goodie-bag the first day from my "big buddy"... in a CLASS. It's an academic program and a club at the same time, it's pretty awesome. I was like... wait... you have, like, friends in classes? Is this madness? In the past three years, I haven't met a single friend in a class. I think I might be a little weird that way though.
Co-chairing the CSC. It should be an excellent experience and happy times.
Taking a break from OPA. It's necessary. Both time- and just general sanity-wise.
Been talking to a boy, but it's been up and down, red light green light, on and off all summer and if he wasn't so goddamn cute I'd have gotten tired of it a long time ago. It's still exciting but kind of bad, really... I obsess. I get neurotic. But that's what it's all about. When my phone notifies me I have a text message, I jump for joy in the hopes that it's him... but it's usually not. I like him a lot. Don't really know where we stand now that school has started and he lives pretty far (north Phoenix), but I'm not too worried. If it works out, awesome, he makes me happy, but if it doesn't, that's ok too, we are definitely friends and I after being in a 3-year (plus) relationship, I have a lot of catching up to do.
Working more this semester. I got a job doing the same thing (only better) at a different agency, I just have to wait until I can go to a training session thing. It pays more and this agency does a much better job in general, with more support and training for therapists and better results for the kids. They just got a big grant from the state to duplicate a study that could be a big push in getting more state funding for behavioral therapy for kids with autism. Which would, in turn, push other states to do the same thing, which could snowball into big awesome change. So it's great to be working for a company that not only has its shit together on the business side and is a great place to work for, but to also be a part of change like that. weeeeee.
The new apt is pimp.
I'm 21 in less than 4 months. I always said I wasn't going to be one of those people who, like, counts the days and hours and minutes until they can legally get drunk... but ef that. It's pretty much going to be amazing.
OK, I'd better actually do this reading. I'm turning over all kinds of new leaves these days. Even though my earliest class isn't until 10:40. Geeze, besides obsessing over the boy, life is so good.
Maybe I'll update again in another, like, 4 months, ha.
