| 2 | Went out as Kendra for second time in town. |

| 12 | Counselling session; first time as Kendra. Went shopping afterwards for clothes, still need a few more casual outfits. |
| 16 | Went out to dinner with Rhonda. |
| 20 | Wife files divorce papers. Since it's uncontested and there's no property or children involved, should go through without a hitch & be finalized in 60 days. |
| 27 | Voice evaluation. Was told I'm way ahead of most TS's when they first come in; I have a lot of feminine qualities to my voice already. It's in the upper range of the male/female overlap, I modulate it more than most men do & do a lot of feminine usages, and I do fairly well at pulling my resonance up out of my chest. I just need more practice to be consistant and do a better job with my resonance. |
| October | |
| 3 | Counselling session. Second time as Kendra. Still waiting for approval to go on HRT. These sessions will be less frequent as time goes by and I just concentrate on school and becoming more comfortable being myself (i.e., as Kendra). |
| 6 | First electolysis session! For now, I'll be going in for an hour each week and then see how far we get in a couple of months. Using thermolysis so as to cover more area per session. My facial hair's not that thick to begin with, so hopefully I'll begin to see decent results fairly soon! |
| 24 | Counselling session. |
| 28 & 31 | Halloween parties, first time I've ever done a femme costume (went as a biker chick). Was always to afraid to "give it away" before. Got lots of compliments! |
| November Two new activites for me. Voice therapy in the afternoon and a support group that meets here on campus in the evenings. I'm signed up as Kendra (not Ken) at both places. Both will be meeting weekly unless I mention otherwise. | |
| 21 | Counselling Session |
| 24 | Recieved notice of finalization of my divorce. So now it's official, I'm single again. |
| 28 | Went out with my ex for what will probably be the last time (to a women's Basketball game). She wants to move on, and to tell the truth, so do I. She still has some books in storage in my parents' house, which I'll get for her when I go home for Christmas. After that, I doubt we'll see each other again, or even talk very often. |
| December | |
| 6 | Voice Session- last one for the year. I've made great strides with my voice, so we'll probably do maybe one or two more sessions next year then I'll be finished! |
| 8 | 10th hour of electrolysis- cleared underneath my jaw from my neck nearly to my chin. |
| 12 | Counselling Session |
| 22-30 | Will be visiting my family in Washington state (but not coming out to them; still too early). |
