Starting school

I am so nervous!!! I start school on monday. I am really excited, believe me, but I am also crawling out of my skin with nerves!!! The classes I'm taking are both classes that I'm really interested in so I should do well... but I haven't been a student in two years! SO much to learn. figuring out my schedule, figuring out the bus system (I have to take public transportation) getting my books, getting all my school supplied. I AM SO EXCITED!!! I love back to school shopping! But I am also really really nervous.
I can do this. I can. I was a straight A student my entire life, that won't change. I have plenty of support from my treatment team, from my parents, from friends... I will do this. I am so glad my life is starting to get back to normal. Next week moving into independent housing! And starting classes!!
Today I have staff helping me take the bus to the school and walking around the campus with me, going to the bookstore to get my books.... it should be nice. I might even have lunch out on campus. EEK! I can hardly contain my excitement!!

I have been so preoccupied thinking about school and all the exciting things that are coming up that food really hasn't even been on my mind. Food is fuel. I eat because I need to. That's about it. This morning I had oatmeal made with soy milk, almonds, and blueberries. It tasted good. I didn't think too much about it.... I think that's progress. There are other things for me to think about besides food and my body and that feels AMAZING. I think school is going to be an enormous step forward for me. I'm ready. It's time.
