Hi everyone! Today has been one of those rare, magical times when time is actually moving slow enough for me to get everything done that I need to. This weekend, my boyfriend and I started the process of having deeper conversations because of how long we've been dating. He tried to avoid it, but then seemed to open up. He continues to say my Bipolar diagnosis is a significant concern for him, especially since he hasn't seen the symptoms in me (I am lucky enough to be able to hide them, no matter how bad they are, to the point where people would never guess I've been diagnosed with this). If I do let loose, it's when alone but, as he pointed out, there is less alone time when married. I know we will continue to talk about this, but also realize we both need to accept that we will just need to go with the flow when it comes to working together to manage/cope with my symptoms if we end up getting married. I hate that, if we get married, this burden of mine becomes his too (and, if we have kids, theirs as well)...

The school year continues to go well-the student's personalities are really starting to come out now that we are starting to get into the swing of things so that is fun to watch.

Grad school continues to keep me on my toes-and will until I graduate. oh well.

I'm sorry I am able to directly to respond to anyone's post, but I have been following along with everyone's updates. May you all receive what you need. Have a good day!
