Aimless Ramblings:
I have made a decision. Trying to maintain three blogs has just discouraged me from maintaining any of them at all. Therefore, all shall be consolidated again here, at Confessions of a Moo.

So, here's a quick update on what's going on:
I'm back at school, as I have been for almost two months now. I moved back onto campus, and I live on an upper year floor in one of the new residence buildings. Double beds, sleek modern new furniture, ensuite bathroom and a beautiful view of the lake.. fabulous!

I'm back in therapy as well, which has been going quite well. Really delving down there and tackling issues that I have brushed aside for so many years. I have always operated on denial. Denial is what has kept me going for so many years. If I didnt like something, or didnt know how to deal with it, I would just pretend it wasnt there. Shove it into the back of a metaphorical closet, and forget about it. I've started cutting more, which scares me, but I'm simultaneously learning to recognize warning signs of my own decline, and developing strategies for dealing with it, so in a way it's kind of good. It's almost like I need to go through the extreme scariness of it, in order to be able to figure things out for myself.

A and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary yesterday, but since we're both so swamped with work, there wasnt any sort of official formal celebration. I can't believe it's been 2 years. Things are so good between us right now.. we've settled into this comfortable routine with each other that I absolutely love. It's a little "old-married-couple"ish, but it's nice. It feels safe. And I love him. I really do.

I'm starting to get worried about upcoming midterms, assignments and eventual exams. I lack the confidence to know that I'm going to manage to get through it all in one piece.

My sleep schedule is entirely destroyed, and I have once again become a nocturnal creature. I go to sleep at 9am, and sleep until 6pm. It's a vicious cycle, and I am hoping to be able to force myself to stay awake until at least 11 tonight to break it.

For that, I'm going to need... coffee, coffee, cofffffeeeeeeeee!
