Another year, another semester, another... well something! I can honestly say that it seems that I not only got through my first semester, but have also passed. 2008 will be a big year of growing up and moving on for me. More so than I have thought possible. I don't think my sanity will allow it to be any other way. So, among other things, my New Year's resolutions are to lose at least 1 dress size before September, get a summer internship (maybe in California, but that's a long shot), study harder and try to keep ahead of the homework pile (failing at that one already, see below), and finally to try to become happier with myself. I don't know where I lost my confidence or self-esteem, but I'm hoping to use this year to get it back.
School started today and the general consensus was that the break was way too short! Not only is it weird to start before Martin Luther King's bday instead of after, but we start two weeks prior! The first day was pretty simple, class didn't start until 2, which makes Monday mornings so much more managable... although I'm not quite looking forward to tomorrow's 9 am class. Well, I'm sure to get used to it and hopefully the rest of my grades will come in in the near future. I'm expecting a B average, although a B+ or A- average would definitely be awesome!
Returning home from Florida was no easy feat. Sister is now married (OMG!) and will have all of her boxes shipped via fed ex for her new apartment. I will miss her, despite the fact I think we will get along better. The folks are still in Florida with the happy couple and I'm basically home alone.
Tonight, in order to dull the misery of returning to school so early, I went out with Rose, Tim, Brian, and Anna to On the Border for some food and dessert. Then, because I don't have a mother yelling that the house isn't neat, they came back to my place for some Wario Ware, which was loads of fun! Of course, I was supposed to do homework while they were doing this, but that didn't work out so well. Now they have all gone home and i'm going to try to do as much homework as humanly possible before collapsing for the evening.
Wish me luck!
