Re-capping the big things seems like a good idea! Let me see how that goes. My memory is very bad for detail but I can usually remember the important stuff. xD

I went to college in Plattsburgh in 2003, dropped out in 2005, went again and dropped out in 2007, went back in Auburn in 2009 and got my associate's in humanities in 2010, and got accepted to Wells College to finish off my bachelor's degree in Psychology, which is what I'm doing now. The semester starts next Wednesday and I have to write my thesis this semester, which is kind of scary, but I think it will be okay because I'm really interested in the topic (the expression of creativity in bipolar individuals and whether that is affected by medication) and there is a lot of research backing up a link between creativity and bipolar, so I should have a lot to work with.

The reason I'm so interested in it is because I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 18, and I really do think my creativity has been differently affected by the different meds I've been on since then. Of course, this might just be me clutching at straws trying to pretend I'm not just losing creativity naturally. xD

I have been a fairly steady agnostic since high school, although I have a better idea of what I mean by that now that I've taken a course on Science and Religion. I don't believe in God like traditional religions, but I do believe there is a higher power, I do believe in the soul, I'm just not sure what happens to the soul after someone dies. Mostly I believe in science. Although I still read tarot cards.

I haven't had a real job since 2007, and even then I was just working as a secretary for my parents, but I do have a work-study job at Wells which is basically just more secretary work. I am good at office stuff. I want to eventually become a social worker, but you really need a master's degree to make a decent salary doing that, so I have a lot more school ahead of me. I have to do my internship over winter break if I want to graduate on time, which I do because I can't afford another semester at Wells.

I have been living with my parents except for a year from the middle of 2007 to toward the end of 2008 when I got an apartment with my best friend. It ended... very badly. I was super depressed by the time my parents came to get me, but I'm doing a lot better now, I haven't had a major depressive episode since 2008. My family just moved, literally just, we left Auburn on Wednesday and now they are in New Bedford, MA, which is where I will be living when I graduate from college.

I have a girlfriend, we have been together since April. I usually call myself bisexual, but pansexual is probably more accurate because I have been attracted to trans people too. I am actually the secretary for the Wells equivalent of gay-straight alliance, which is called SAGA, which is where Shane and I met. We do awesome things like have drag shows. Last year was the first time we did a drag show and it was a fantastic success, so this time I might actually perform if I can find a nice enough suit to wear.
