Things are still going OK. Semester is under way, the weather in Philly hasn't been that bad, though it is cold right now. Parents have been keeping their distance, they are still so fucking overprotective it kills me. And their constant insinuations I should get help are killing my confidence. I am tempted to say that this sort of thing led to my problems that summer after high school, except that it really didn't and they know it. They know too much because of that, I'm afraid.
Classes are hard, but I am dealing with them. I am really starting to get into the math stuff. I am going to apply for an internship here, that is the sort of thing that can lead to a job as a TA if I go to grad school, all sorts of stuff. The math department loves me, what can I say?
The car thing should happen when I go home in two weeks. I think a car was worth staying overnight in a hospital and getting an evaluation. Oh, my copy showed up. I took it to my shrink who sort of shrugged and said it didn't say anything we didn't already know, that I have adjusted to most things in there and he considers me very healthy considering what I have been through.
I did see a doctor about that lump in my thigh, he said it looked like a watery cyst, they will take it out and take a look at it to be sure, but that it was not going to be a problem. I have to go in, they aren't going to make me stay overnight, the whole thing will take about two hours and they aren't even knocking me out, just a local.
Things with Hailey are reasonably cool. She said she'd tell me what to say to my parents if they started up again, I said I didn't want that, I would deal with it myself. Look, I think she's the one and I hope we spend our lives together and she'll probably run my life for me, but right now, I'm not ready for that. I need to break free of my parents on my own.
