I actually managed to get off work early today, so here I am, typing fourty five minutes before the ball finally drops. Here's to working with a lot of people that really wanted to go to their little parties. I obviously am not going to the party that I planned to go to, but that's because pretty much everyone left early, and all that's left there now is the couples, which would just make me depressed for the New Year, and that is generally not a good idea. So I will lift my spirits by writing and writing for a bit. (Which reminds me I completely forgot to look for a little notebook today. But I guess that can be done tomorrow).
I cannot believe that it's already less than an hour away from 2004! This year just zipped by, and so much has changed. Somehow, I managed to grow an inch (I can stop lying about being 5'7", yes!). I've moved from high school to college. I learned to do laundry, and how to deal (a little) with drunks. I got a job. I'm more outgoing (yay last year's new year's resolution!). This is not in any sort of order. My house smells like saurkraut and pork (Yum!). It seems like the only thing that hasn't changed is the way things are here. Work is still boring. Life here is still boring (mostly because of work). My family still spends every weekend arguing over my sister going to Akron to visit her friend. I still always end up driving her there. So what happens when the only thing that's changed is me?
Then of course, there is the universal stalker constant... we won't even go into that. We lost one, and gained one this year, and had half of one for part of the summer. Grrr to these people! In the same department, I've found that I only seem to be capable of attracting random creepy African American people (Ok, so that's only been true in two instances, but they happened in two far separated places, so... it's as good as several times in the same place).
So, what is my New Year's Resolution? Can I have several? I still say I need to write more (Let's make the goal no more than five days missed in a month). I need to be more motivated in school. I need to speak up in Media Asthetics. I need to join some sort of club, and really make an effort to find more of the people like me at the UofC (because I know they've got to be there somewhere!). And a resolution I know I will never keep, even for one day... three meals a day. Unless "midnight snack" suddenly decides to count as a meal. And, for a very short-sighted resolution, I resolve to make myself a mix CD of all my favourite songs, even if they're already on a mix CD. Yay.
The rest of the world should make a resolution to just be less uptight about stuff, relax, and not judge people so quickly. Silly world.
