yay i think

So, yesterday in Bio we were learning about the
digestive system. I asked how long it takes things to leave
the stomach (nothing is really digested until the small
intestine). My teacher said about 12 hours.
Know what that means? I could eat breakfast, and
throw up midafternoon. And still not have ANY of it
absorbed into me! AWESOME. No more frantically running to
the potty right after i eat, which is pretty obvious.
Not that i've thrown up in a while. I haven't in
months and months, actually. But now if i wanted to, i
could at least.
In bio, my class keeps bringing up eating disorders.
(there are only eight of us, so we talk about a lot of only
semi-relevant issues). We've talked about bulimia and
anorexia a lot. I hate it. They all say how stupid it is
and stuff, and try to figure out why anyone would WANT to
do that to their bodies. They don't understand at all. I
just sit quiety and avoid eye contact.
We have to hand in our food diaries tomorrow. I'm a
little worried about that. I've had 2200 calories in the
past three days. (WHICH IS A TON, BY THE WAY). But i do
know that at 15, you're supposed to have at least 2200 a
day. Hmm. Damn. Eek. I'm not happy.
I haven't been taking my zoloft lately. I notice the
difference, too. I'm not quite as happy-go-lucky as i am
when drugged up. It doesn't make me all "WHEEE! YAY!" or
anything like that, but it kind of improves my well-being,
i guess. Hmmm.
*yawn* i've been exhausted lately. Not sure why. I
guess all the school work and stress has just been piling
up. I mean, it's not even 9 yet and i'm ready to pass out.
Maybe i'll ditch my homework, take an exedrin PM, and get a
good night's sleep. Mmmm, i bet sleep would help. I go to
bed so late. Bleh.
Ok, i'm done rambling now. G'day to you and yours,
~a hasn't written much in here lately, and feels much
better after doing so thea
