So here I am... nearly 7 weeks clean. And the first year of school is about done, just a week and a half more. I have only failed one subject so far, I must say I am amazed of myself. I've also been seeing a therapist since about a month ago because I want to grow even more as a person, and I feel like this is some good help. When I was still smoking weed, my general emotional well being was on average a 5. Since quitting it's a 6, we have concluded. Trying to work it up to an 8 now. If I can make this school year, keep doing kickboxing, get better at drawing and playing the piano I reckon I'll be close to that. So yeah, I've been doing well.
For some reason this made me really happy. Well done man!

I've heard it recommended that it's better to think of these things like a running tally, instead of a "i failed and have to start again" kind of thing.
Like a game with checkpoints instead of one where you have to start from the beginning again.
So just start from tomorrow, that's 9 months and one day where you haven't self harmed.
That's awesome!

Farewell parties here involve a stupid tradition that you have to talk about each person present there. In return, the others too have to say something about the one who is leaving. Apart from the few people in my team, I don't know anything about the others who have been invited. I don't even know the names of some! What will I say about them?  And I can predict what everyone's going to say about me. They'll all say I'm awfully quiet, as if me as a person is entirely defined by the word 'quiet'. I don't get the point of putting anyone through this kind of torture...I suddenly hate this place and people a hundred times more! I can't wait to be out of here.
Oh fuck I hate those forced group things. Like introducing yourself to everyone by saying you favourite thing, kill me.
You should just say "You all are the reason I'm leaving" totally deadpan, and then just sit down again.
Fairly decent rave: I saw my ex today. Was totally out of the blue, she just hadn't been msging for a while, she said her phone broke and then asked what I was doing today.
Went and caught up with her and we had a good chat..... oh goddamit.... ok I'm gonna stay calm and happy.... sister and her bf just came home.... I totally showed him up the other day, just a stupid thing with jimmying (or however you spell that) open a door, and coz he's like a fucking douchebag "alpha" tryhard guy, he's obviously pissed off coz I hurt his little ego. He left the other day and slammed the walls and the door as he left, and when they came in now, he shut the door, then went back and slammed it. What a retard....
Anyway, I'm feeling good. Me and ex had an awesome chat and it wasn't even like we've been apart for years, just straight to being good friends again and we still both totally get each other with our weird jokes and everything. Only downside is her kid didn't like me, or maybe she was just shy, not really sure, she's cute as hell though and smart.
We also talked about our futures and stuff, she wants to be a nurse. She said I should be as well. I kinda think I should....
I'll have to look in to it and I'm gonna talk with my aunties about it coz they're nurses, but I think this could be good.
As much as I want to be a Vet, I really do not want to be in school for 7 more years, and it'll take longer if I don't get in the first time, and a complete waste of time if I can't get in at all. And basically the only other thing I could do with the course I'm doing is research, and fuck that. Unless it was chemistry research, but then you need a Masters or PhD I think....
I do have a slight feeling I will feel like I'm wasting my brain, but on the other hand, I see my dad as a doctor, and uncle as a vet, and they work ridiculous hours and basically have no time for other things, and I don't want to be like that. I've got so many other things I want to do, maybe I need to compromise, I can't do everything.
Gonna have to decide soon....
