hi
Well, I've been nudged a few times, so I suppose I should update! My cold has gotten better, so I'm not sick in body any more, but I am now officially sick in mind. I've started antidepressants and found a counselor that I actually like, so hopefully that will get my Anxiety and general malaise under control. We'll see--I haven't been on it long enough to be able to tell if there's much of a difference, but I don't seem to get quite as freaked out by quite as many things now.
Plus, I'm on my way home for Thanksgiving, so that's good. I took the train to Kansas City today, and my brother picked me up and brought me on to Lawrence, where he goes to school. I'm staying with his girlfriend in the dorm (she's an RA), then we'll travel the hour and a half on home tomorrow and be back for lunch. Hooray! I think I've mostly figured out what I'm going to do about school, too. I still have two Incompletes from the spring semester, and if those don't get done by mid-December, I fail them. Then there's the three classes I'm taking this semester that I haven't been able to focus on or do any work in. So I'm taking incompletes in all of those, which will give me time to concentrate solely on trying to finish the old classes this semester, and then I can work on the others once the medicine has had time to work and without other classes to distract me. I'll go home for a short Christmas break, and move out of my apartment, then come back up to Urbana and live for a month or two with some friends to focus on finishing classes. That way I can be near the Library Science library, and not be distracted by home. Hopefully, the plan will work and I'll finally be done with this degree!
*hugs* to everyone who needs them, and sorry I've been neglecting LJ a bit lately.
