General What-I'm-Up-To Post

[stars_2_scars]

Howdy, all!

I haven't posted in a while.  I've been up to a lot lately.  I'm in college, taking courses I love, writing all sorts of poetry, spending time with my boyfriend and family, and overall enjoying life.  I'm pretty well recovered now. I have very few negative thoughts about myself at this point, and the desire to not eat has divided significantly.  Sure, some days I look in the mirror and think, "Ew, I'm disgusting," but I never act on that negativity.  I've grown to tell myself, "No, I'm beautiful, and I have many good qualities and talents... and I'm sexy." XDD  I even wear bikinis now, like, weekly when I go swimming, and I feel good.  Plus, I'm healthy and I'm doing excellent in school.

I took wonderful classes last semester that I loved:

• Japanese
• Into to Journalism
• Imaginative Writing
• Intro to International Studies

Amazingly, I managed to get straight As, something that I've never, ever had.  I'm pretty proud of myself and I'm excited for next semester.  I'll be taking five courses:

• Creative Writing Workshop
• Intro to Women's Studies
• Japanese
• Academic Writing
• Intro to Cultural Diversity through Performance

All of these are things I love, with the exception of the Academic Writing course, which is mandatory (luckily I got to skip the first one by passing the English AP test last year).  I'm excited for next semester.

Also, I've been having a wonderful time this Winter break with my family and friends.  Things are well, and e.d. is no more.  Therefore, I will no longer be posting on this journal.  All of my journal entries will be on my personal account, michiko147 .  Please, feel free to add me there.

Happy New Year!
