Its almost the end of the semester and I couldn't be happier about that. I have one more week of classes and then a week of exams and then I'm out. I've worked hard this semester; I've had to juggle a studio class, an upper level writing class, biology lectures as well as an early morning lab (which actually wasn't too bad), a very in depth anthropology class, (my fun health class too, but that doesn't count because it was easy) weekly therapy sessions with weekly assignments, and monthly appointments with a psychiatrist. On top of that, I actually have friends and have had to adjust my life to get used to devoting time to other people, and I'm totally not complaining about that at all, but it's been interesting. I still have a 6 page paper to write for next week and an 8 page research paper about the significance and formula of the Madonna and Child religious art in Siena due during finals, neither of which I have started.
I'm trying to take charge of my life. I've called several places trying to secure a job for this summer. My number one choice is where I worked last year, but that place is so unorganized and its not looking good. I called and applied to Kiddie Kandids in the mall, which is a child photographic portrait studio, which would also be nice. I'm not working in retail or as a waitress, so that really rules out of a lot of jobs. If I don't work this summer, it won't be the end of the world, but I'd prefer a job.
I'm also taking charge of my anxiety. I'm in the process of switching to a new medication, Mirtazapine, because I didn't feel much effect from the other medication except for the side effects, which were a bitch. I'm feeling better in a lot of ways though, partly due to the therapy. In fact, I actually begged and persuaded a guy to let me ride a camel the other day. The old Jennie would have just wished she could ride the camel and then taken "no" as the answer and walked away sadly.
And since I'm taking charge of my life, I've also started recording what I eat and any exercise I do in a notebook. I'm hoping to work out a lot more during the summer. In addition, I've got a couple plans for doctor appointments so I can figure out why the fuck I get head aches so much.
Overall, I hope to improve myself so that by the time I begin next semester, I'll fell better about my life.
