I have, as my previous post make clear, been considering my situation - in all senses of the word. The effect, on reading back over it, is like a broken record. But today, we consider geography.

I have been poking around Craig's List looking randomly at apartment listings in different cities : Seattle, St. Louis, San Francisco, Boston, etc. I want to move after graduation, even if it's just around this city, but I think it will be good for me obtain a new situation: in location, employment, and health. I have come again to the part of my mood cycle that is intrigued by the future, and excited rather than simply, wholly terrified of all the possibilities. I like this part.

I have broken off my diet, ordering a pizza last night and dinner with my grandparents tonight. I'm taking a week off, and then I want to start cooking for myself. Clean out and restock my fridge, start with some simple recipes, and go from there. I'm tired of putting crap, even diet crap, in my body. Part of improving my situation must be improving the care I take of myself. Groceries tomorrow!
