Thoughts on 2008

I had a great time last night with my church family. I really don't have a "home-church" yet (ever since I started school in San Marcos). However, my parents do...and I sometimes attend with them.
Every year they get together at around 6pm and stay until midnight to welcome the new year with eachother. It's actually pretty awesome. I know what you're thinking. Church? Fun? On New Years Eve? Puh-lease!! But for real. It's great. What better place to be than with your family, friends, your brother and sisters in Christ and acknowledging God into the next year?!?! There are games, activities, FOOD, DESSERT, babies, wacky children and more importantly...no drama (you know what I mean...the kind of drama where you boyfriend's x-girlfriend shows up unexpectedly to trash YOUR party or where you boyfriend's bestfriend's girlfriend is drunk off her a** and talking smack to everybody. Or the kind where the night ends in someone being unconscience). That is an example of how NOT to spend new years. In my opinion of course.

Anyways...this is going to be an awesome year. I just know it! Especially since I want it to be!! Last year was such a "blah" year to me. And RIDICULOUSLY hard. School wise, I mean. And I know this semester is going to be even MORE of a challenge, but at least they're courses that pertain to my major. No more calculus crap, no more physics crap, no more english crap or foreign languageness, it's all Chemistry and Biology from here. Sooo excited. Wait, have I mentioned how excited I am?!?! PFFF. I'm also excited for the relationships I'm going to build with my friends. My discipleship group. Getting better from my eating disorder. Fully healing and recovering mentally. Appreciating my family more. Hanging out more with my big brother (because he's pretty awesome). Getting a dog. Possibly. As soon as I get a job to pay for it's shots and food and stuff and junk. What else do pets need? Playing piano more. Getting a boyfriend. It's time for one of those. Aceing all my classes. Staying up late in the library with my friends drinking starbucks through the wee-hours of the night. I'm just TOTALLY excited! This years going to be different. It's going to be great. Because I want it to be. But I've already said that.
