If you happen to have been following me very closely (which I doubt) you might know that I've been a bit wary about how well I'll be able to pass in the future and whether or not HRT is having enough of an effect on me. Today, I went to my therapist. Usually, this guy makes me a bit uncomfortable, but today I really got my money's worth in terms of emotional health. He assured me that my HRT seems to be right on track. In fact, he recommended that I go full-time at the end of the summer! Now, this had been my goal since last year, but to hear it so close to coming to fruition was just so incredibly validating! I feel like I'm in the home stretch here in a lot of ways, since I'm winding down my classes for the semester. Soon I'll start devoting lots of time to my voice and transition and I should be set to go as Emily for my Junior year. Really a dream come true!

Isn't it great when therapy starts working to your advantage? That only happens when you've been active contributing to the discussions, so you've definitely earned it. Congratulations!!
