It's strange to think that I don't even have a New Year's Resolution. I mean, I ALWAYS come up with something, and to tell you the truth last year's resolution was a good one: "to stop judging people even on a subconscious level, and to become genuinely kind and sincere to all." hmmm
And you know what, to a point I have accomplished that. My judging levels are waaay down, and i've found out what the meaning of real love. When you know what real Love is it causes you to care for people, about what is going on in their lives, their days. And how their hair looks and what their wearing isn't that big of a deal anymore.
Everyone MUST read Blue Like Jazz. This book seriously changed my life...and it WILL change yours. I wish I could order 100 copies and give it out to everybody, because some people will never read anything unless you buy the book for them. I think one of the most important things that I have truly instilled in myself is that I need to treat others as I would like to be treated. I mean, our standards and expectations are SO high for other people, but then for ourselves we let things slide, a bad mood here, a rude remark there, forgetting that if someone spoke to us in such a manner we would be all up in tears.
But to re-cap 2005:
January- second semester started....with 21 units. That was DEATH. I was so frustrated the whole time because I couldn't ever succeed. my aunt died also.
February and March- both were difficult months. Enough said.
April- Spring break for a week did me good.
May- END OF THE SEMESTER. only to find out that my GPA had plummeted. Ouch. [ don't worry, my GPA is back up to it's happy self again]
June- July: went to Russia! This was a life changing trip. I can't even describe in words how enthralled I was by this trip.
August- came back and worked at the coffee shop. The job security I have at this place is phenomenal.
September- back to the hard grind of school....but with a roommate that became the ever pricking thorn in my side
October- My Birthday! lots of nice presents and well wishings. I wish i had a half a year birthday, how much fun would that be?
November- My parents drove out from CA and gave me Boris!!!!!!!!!!!
December- Finished the semester well, and finally came home after 4 months. which by the way, was waaay too long to not see my friends.
So nothing too exciting happened at all this year...looking forward towards 2006, in the hopes that it will bring me good grades, great opportunities, a trip to France....and hopefully an awesome boyfriend ;)
