Official name change!
Went down to Woodland earlier this week to the courthouse, and got my name changed all officially and whatnot. Then, I went into the university registrar and had them change it, and the next day I got my new UCD ID. Check it out:
I'll be going to the DMV and Social Security office sometime next week to get my name changed there (and then thank goodness I will finally get a new license picture, so I won't look like a fifteen-year-old girly-boy anymore). Then I just have to go through and change it in all the necessary places (e.g., bank account, insurance). The couple times since the change where I've had to use some governmental form of identification it hasn't bothered me. I think this is because I know that officially, I am now "Nathan Myers," and if someone sees my old ID it doesn't matter (especially because I will be getting new ones soon). Hooray for less dysphoria!
Bodily changes are progressing as they should, i.e., I am getting hairier, sweatier, smellier, and more muscular. My voice has gotten pretty deep, and it's not cracking very much at all now (though it does still happen occasionally). Everything is going pretty well. Also, unless something catastrophic happens, I should be done with my undergraduate degree in a few weeks! And there was much rejoicing. =D
Have been updating less frequently because I'm focusing on graduating and living, but I will attempt to be more timely in the future. I think I've said that before, but I really will this time.
