Wow, it's been nearly two months since I last posted. I suppose I haven't really had anything to say because on the whole things are going really well for me.
For a number of reasons, one being my health, I decided to take my exams next year instead of this year so I can have an extra year studying. As a result I've not been at school since about a week before easter. The free time has allowed me to focus on my health and, lo and behold, I can eat. For the first time in god knows how long I actually look forward to and enjoy meal times. Food has become an ordinary part of life at last. I no longer have to dread situations in which I have to eat around friends. I no longer have to trick myself into thinking I'm eating enough when knowing full well that I'm not. I aboslutely love it.
So I turned 18 in April and celebrated with my girl friends. In England, turning 18 means that you're legally allowed to buy alcohol and I'm not gonna lie, I do love the freedom this gives me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a raging alcoholic or anything. I don't even like getting drunk. I tried it once and it didn't agree with me so I only stick to what I can handle, which for me is about 2 large glasses of wine. Personally I don't understand why people enjoy getting really drunk, especially with the dreadful hangovers people describe. Perhaps they enjoy feeling so out of control. To me it's just scary. But I love being able to go into a pub with friends and order a glass of wine at the bar. Ahhh simple freedoms.
