Deadline

Today I received great news. I have been offered a scholarship to undertake a two-year academic program in my area of interest. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I accept, I will be starting the program in just over three months. This means I need to stop picking before those three months are up. Not only do I want to stop picking before then, I want to completely eliminate the urge to pick at my skin. I want to be able to look at a bump on my body and think, "Oh well." Because after three months, I will need to be able to focus on my studies. I will need to be productive, not self-destructive. And, I'd like to have some fun!
