i know. my diary is falling apart..the links are breaking, the layout is nothing short of old.

but

i still want to update. even if infrequently. because, i feel like this was such a vast part of my life. this used to be my everything ("this" being everything from the ritualized food behaviors to the wonderful people i met through online communities). i don't really want to forget it, especially because i've come so far. it's a strange feeling, when you know you would never go back to something, but you are able to look at it...much like a photo album, i guess.

anyway, i'm doing well! i graduate in TWO WEEKS. FINALLY! i was starting to think it would never happen, but ah! perseverance wins!

not that graduating means *too* terribly much in this economy, but it's a start. i'm getting on my feet much later than if "this" had never happened, but you can't change the past, right? you can only learn from it...
