Guess who's back!

A lot has changed since I have been gone. I have changed my name and pronouns coming out fully as non-binary and been seeing a therapist on campus. I haven't changed my name legally yet. I moved into a dorm so I could live on campus this semester, which helped my grades significantly. I received straight As this semester and got heavily invested in anthropology and archaeology. I changed my major to fine arts and made anthropology my minor with a focus on archaeology. I joined and have been active in the anthropology club.

My health has been slowly improving. I joined the exercise is medicine program on campus. I haven't been able to lose weight yet but I have been gaining muscle and keeping diabetes at bay by staying active and watching my food portions. There was awhile there where I thought my mom was going to go homeless, which stressed the hell out of me. But that got handled without me being involved much since I had to focus on school.

Now I am about to move out of my dorm and head a few counties over for archaeology field school. There I will learn applied archaeology. Once completed I will be a certified archaeologist. This summer I will be looking for a job and an apartment near campus so I can have my cats with me in the fall. If all goes well I will be doing a work study program doing archaeological research with my professor. I might even become an exercise mentor myself if I am able to get in better shape over the summer.

How is everyone doing? Sorry I have been gone so long. I had to focus on myself.
