what i've learned so far: week one

So I've been in Vancouver since July 31st, and I've actually only been alone since Wednesday, but it feels as though it's been a long time. It also feels as though I've learned a bit about myself, especially since I've been so cognizant of my mental health situation through it all.

What I've Learned So Far:

• I can find things to do BY myself and FOR myself to make sure I don't fall into sadness and/or to bring myself out of it. No internet required! 
• I feel happier when I am clean and even wear make up and do my hair. (wtf?!). 
• I feel more comfortable in my apartment when it is not cluttered and the kitchen is clean. 
• I think it is reasonable to do my laundry after a week. 
• THUS I'm starting to understand why people think clean spaces and make up and stuff is important.
• When I have too much sugar and grease and stuff, I feel like crap and can fix it by eating a lot more fruit and veggies, and drinking a lot of water. 
• Variety is a good thing. Too much of one show or activity can make your mind explode. An intermingling of video games, productivity, tv, movies, music, and the computer (though none of those things sound like I should be doing them lol) work better.

Frankly this is all very weird, and none of it sounds like me. Let's not pretend, though, that I haven't been pestering my friends on my phone and stuff like that too. However I don't feel that clawing need like I have before, which is weird. Maybe it's because my meds have reached OCD-fighting status? (sounds like a video game accomplishment lol). We shall see.

Other than all those things, I've just been setting up my apartment and all that. It's pretty rockin and I intend to make a video tour once my internet is consistently on board. AND I'm going to a PARTY tomorrow :O!! I'm pretty excited about it.

ps. I'm also pretty excited that I'm starting to get random comments from largely anonymous peeps. It's ok to sign your name if you wish! I won't bite :).
