So I have a new boyfriend. He's significantly older than me, though younger than Big Black Boyfriend was. Nate is 29, which is actually older than my stepdad (28) and that's kinda creepy. Otherwise the age difference doesn't bother me, in fact I think I can relate to him better than guys my age. We really click on just about everything and he treats me like a princess. Tonight he's taking me out for dinner and a movie, and the other day he got me roses just because he loves me (aww).

He's really good for me though. Like I've been clean now for something like five days (completely sober even!) That's totally unheard of for me. I haven't been totally sober in such a long time. And the best part is that I like to be around him sober, I don't feel the need to be drunk/high with him. And that's great. I help him with his drinking, too. Since we've been together, he's been drinking half as much, and he doesn't drink around me at all unless I'm drinking too (and there was like one day this week that I drank around him). We're motivating each other to stop the bad habits.

This weekend we may or may not get a bag of rock to party with, just because we've both been good all week, but this will be a pretty rare occurance. We're both focusing on eventually quitting.

School is going well. I'm doing okay in all of my classes. Trig was starting to get to me so I dropped it today, and it's a good thing I did because today was the last day you could drop a class without it counting against you. I even like my Plant Bio class. The only thing that's gonna stress me out here pretty soon is applying to colleges and getting in scholarship applications. My mom has been getting on my ass lately to start on those but it's like with all my other homework and spending time with Nate I don't really have time. I'll have to make time eventually if I want to go to college though.
