(no subject)
Aha! I now have access to the ridiculous parental control password. I came home from Rachel's on Tuesday and worked 6 hours at Hardee's yesterday. Today I didn't do much besides go to my aunt's salon so she could cut my hair. I have bangs again! :) Tomorrow is my last day at Hardee's, hopefully forever and ever and ever. And Saturday I head back to Jenison. :(
I won't say the break went by too quickly, because I can barely remember the first week of it. I will say that I wish I didn't have to work, because I could have enjoyed it much more.
Before I head to sleep, I'd like to do this survey I stole from Alexa's journal...
Looking Ahead:
In the year 2008...
Will you be looking for a new job?
Yes, probably. It wouldn't be until Summer or Fall, but I know I'd like to get an internship before I leave GVSU.
Will you be looking for a new relationship?
Well...not actively, but it wouldn't be a bad thing...
New house?
Well, I'm probably going back to apartment living come July. This house thing isn't all it's cracked up to be.
What will you do different in 2008?
*Hopefully* manage my time better
What will you not be doing in 2008?
Hmm...I will not be working in food service. Ha.
Any trips planned?
Planning to go to South Carolina for Spring Break again!
Wedding plans?
not for me.
What’s on your calendar?
Lots o' weddings, Vagina Monologues in February
What can’t you wait for?
I'm honestly not excited about much. But it'll be cool to use my new laptop in classes and on homework dates at the coffeehouse.
What would you like to see happen differently?
Well, if I end up dating someone this year, I'd hope it is nothing like any of my previous relationships. I would like our landlord to step it up a little in the last half of our lease. I would like the LifeGroup I'm a part of at church grow closer and spend more time together.
What about yourself will you be changing?
Hopefully, in my last year of school before graduating, I will become more focused on my future and work to become a more "professional" person. And I hope to stop dwelling on past experiences that have apparently traumatized me.
What happened in 2007 that you didn’t think would ever happen?
I returned to Hardee's. :(
Will you be nicer to the people you care about?
I hope so!
Will you dress differently this year than you did in 07?
Possibly. It kind of goes with that "more professional me" thing.
Will you start or quit drinking?
Uh...well, I don't really drink. I don't plan to drink more often or harder or anything, but I certainly don't intend to not drink.
Will you have better relationship with your family?
It's not bad as it is, but it wouldn't hurt to be a smidge better.
Will you do charity work?
I certainly hope so...in fact, I think I need to do more stuff for others.
Will you go to bars?
Occasionally, if I'm in the mood or am invited...but usually I try to avoid them.
Will you be nice to people you don’t know?
I hope so. I try to be.
Do you expect 2008 to be a good year for you?
Oh God I hope so.
How much did you change from this time last year til now?
Hmm...probably not too significantly, sadly.
Do you plan on having a child?
Uhh...give me 5 years.
Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now?
Proabably.
Major lifestyle changes?
Again, becoming more "professional"...hopefully more independent and financially cushioned?
Will you be moving?
For sure come August...then, depending on post-graduation plans, possibly again in December or January.
What will you make sure doesn’t happen in 2008 that happened in 2007?
I'd like a lot of things that happened this year to not ever happen again. It's not like anything too dramatic happened, but I could live without repetition...
What are your New Years Eve plans?
Rach, Kev, Jared, and I went to Kim and Nick's. It was fun!
Will you have someone to kiss at midnight?
I was sure I'd end up kissing Jared at midnight, but it didn't wind up that way, and I'm sure it's for the best! haha.
Wish for 2008:
Stability where it's been lacking.
While I know 2007 wasn't too bad of a year for me, I have this real sense of depression about it. I feel like a lot has been changing around me, but I haven't really gotten anywhere. I personally didn't do too many things that merit celebration, and I can't seem to remember much that happened besides weddings and quitting Great Lakes. Okay, quitting merits celebration...
But yeah. Here's hoping 2008 brings me some authentic happiness and stability. And now that I'm feeling quite down on myself, I'm pretty glad I have two cats curled up in my bed waiting for me. I love cuddles and will miss them terribly. Maybe that's why I'm a little blue...I know I have to leave here in a couple days. :(
