I doubt anyone is going to read this but me...but I need to get this out for my sanity...
So this is a look back and a look forward...sort of.
2008 was one hell of a year.
I successfully, well sort of, completed my first year of college and started my second year.
Salem is the best place, and it is all I could have a hope for..and more. I do have really amazing friends and I love being here and I actually enjoy going to class (well some of them!) I know that if Salem hadn't been the perfect fit my butt would have gone somewhere else!
2008 was a year for making and losing friends.
I made an incredible group of friends here, and I am slowly losing touch with people from Calvary. Don't get me wrong though...it isn't on purpose, we are just growing up and going our seperate ways. I do still keep in touch with one of my closet friends Grace who came to visit over Christmas break! Then there is the occasionally update on facebook from everyone which is always nice! Christen and I remain close close friends, in fact she is one of the people I know will remain in my life always.
My three bestest friends who I grew up with are all spread out...sort of. Lydia is at Brown in Providence and Kirchin is there also but at RISD, Chloe is here in NC, but about two hours away at Warren Wilson which is in outside of Asheville. Its hard not seeing them all the time, but fortunatly our friendship remains as srong as ever.
Speaking of friends, I lost a good one this year, but I think it might be for the best...the jury is still out on that one.
In May Matt and I had the argument/fight of a lifetime, I finally got the nerve to basically tell him to wake up and smell the freaking coffee that I have liked him for YEARS. And I was too late...and it was apparently all my fault. So I told him I needed space and told him to stop talking to me. We hung out twice this summer, with Christen there and it was akward as hell. It was worse than any possible breakup because it wasn't like we had fond memories of dating to look back upon, and a long friendship was broken beyond repair. Matt is at Mercer now and has a girlfriend (whom Christen calls a hoochie, and I of course agree), she is proabably really nice, but I do hate her, because I lost the guy I never got to have it all with, but wanted to, to her.
2008 brought not only my sophmore year but my 20's.
It was weird to cross over into a new decade and to realize how much has happened in those 20 years.
My 20th birthday was good, but I can't help counting the days down to this years birthday and 21!
Oh, even with now being in my 20's I am still mistaken for a highschooler...oh the joys of being blessed with a baby face!!
2008 went by to fast and I have no doubts that 2009 will pass just as quickly!
But I plan to make 2009 amazing
I plan to get healthy (which is hard when you are eating school food!)
I plan to do my best at school
I plan to live my life to my defintion of what the fullest is.
Oh I and I also plan to be dating, the man for me is out there somewhere and I am determined to find him.
Now as much I would love to keep writing...I can't.
I have a 9:30 class and an 8:30 wake up call...not to mention my pj's and comfy bed are calling my name.
