Damn I'm exhausted. Both mentally and physically I'm spent. It's been an interesting few weeks since I last wrote in this diary. What's the biggest news? Well right at this very moment somewhere in the Australian postal system is a letter to my Mum telling her that I'm transgendered. About one page in 16 font laying out the general situation. Why was I forced to write it? I got my ears pierced on Sunday morning. I thought it was great, but when mum found out about it she had a bit of a freak attack. I know she will label this as "a silly phase" like she always does, so finally I had to grab the situation and spell it out as bluntly as I could.
In combination with this, the rest of my friends will see my new additions on Thursday when we have dinner. I don't think they will have any problems, since most of them know already and those who don't probably have their suspicions anyway.
Physically I'm pretty stressed out because the date of my presentation is looming closer and I still have lots of work to do on it and the chemistry side isn't working as well as I had hoped. My supervisor left for Japan yesterday.
