+++++++++++ MIRIAM'S BACK
So, I guess this has been my best year yet. I mean... my first year of college sucked. I wasn't quite depressed, but I was as close as I get. This year has been pretty great. Yeah, the end of summer had that little mishap, but... I feel like I've come into my own now. I don't go on chain smoking binges, listening to music and walking because I'm sad and I don't know any other way to feel better. I haven't had a panic attack. I did well in school. I'm enjoying my classes. I managed to find a boy who likes me and who I like and who makes a good companion.
Overall, last year was a success. I hope this year beats the shit out of last year--it totally has the potential to.
I mean, I'm in classes I'm horrendously interested in, Miriam's back, and there's Italy in the Fall.
I meant to stay up all night and read Pride and Prejudice... instead I spent two hours reading webcomics and writing this :D
