(no subject)
Doing a bit of rethinking this week so far. I didn't really make a resolution for this year, but I don't really think we need a holiday to tell us when to make a change. So I think I am going to just aim to keep on top of things, and continue to do what always seems to be the hardest for me: go after that which will make me happy, and not to hesitate.
Lyndsay and I were talking about how much we thought we had changed over the year 2009.
Initially my response was pretty much, "im about the same." But the more I thought about it, the more I decided that was far from true. I respect myself a lot more than I used to. I used to get down on myself every chance I could. People would say something nice, or compliment me, and I would dismiss it as being polite. I generally let people sort of just walk all over me, and I would take what was given and mope on my own time. But I found myself more and more stopping and recognizing when something was bullshit, and addressing it appropriately. Were it being taken advantage of, I would simply rise to the occasion, and take control of the situation. Disrespect, I would ignore it, or address it.
I think the only thing I regret about 2009 is that I didn't find that respect sooner. There are alot of things that I would like to say to a lot of people regarding last year. A lot of bullshit that slid on by, to put it crassly. But that's fine.
I resolve to pursue what I think will make me happy, and to keep my head above water at UofMDB. And to cut out any and all surrounding bullshit, manipulation, or twofacedness.
And were beginning with replacing Corey as Co-president. Marie will be the Co-president of the GSA next semester, and I am SO excited for it. She is passionate, enthusiastic, political, and absolutely insane. We'll make the perfect team, and we'll rally the shit out of the "troops." Corey resigned, but to be brutally honest, I was minutes away from asking him to quit myself. He promised to do one thing this last semester, ptu together volunteering work for the holidays. He assured me I wouldnt have to lift a finger. It simply did not happen after 5 "ITS DEFINITELY COMING"'s. Then he emailed me, after the time had passed, to say he would be doing less next semester. This has been complicated adn confusing enough as it was, Corey and I simply had different plans and different methods. I am pumped for Marie. And shes pumped too.
I think this year will be better.
And I hope Mike goes to Canada with us Saturday.
Fuck. lmao.
