2005...
and what a year it was. so many extradinary things occured this year. new orleans and the other tragedies this year have made me realize just how good i really have it. 2005 helped show me who my TRUE friends are and as this year has come to a close, so will my life in college be coming to an end. the more i think about it, the more i think i will become a teacher. it really is the perfect job for me, since i love kids, minus the whole teaching part. but being around and interacting and forming relationships with kids would be something amazing i think... this time next year i plan to be somewhere completely different, i'm hoping california, i'm ready for a change, i'm ready for a move, this coast has been good to me, but there's so much more to life than virginia, there's a whole world and country to witness, explore, and experience. in 2006 i want to better myself, i read all my old entries from 2005 and i realized how silly i was , jumping in and out of relationships, and my feelings with girls. if i do plan on leaving this area, i really don't need to start anything, and as lonely as i do feel sometimes, i know i do have the strength to go on alone. the bottom line is in 2006 i want to become a better person mind, body, and soul. so my new year's resolution that i didn't accomplish last year, but i plan to or at least come close to accomplishing this year is..
1. read 100 books.
if i plan on being a serious poet/writer. the number one thing you must to do to better yourself is to read, read, and read more.
2. eat better/exercise more.
i know i did really well over the summer about this, but i slacked over the fall and when i went back home. but i will get back to my winning form soon enough i hope.
[finally] 3. keep a daily journal.
as much as i love lj i know sometimes i have to hold back about how i really feel. because i know sometimes people read this, and even when i form relationships girls i'm dating go back and read this. so it's not really as private as i would like, and i can't really get my real feelings out there. in a journal just for myself i can. but don't get me wrong i'll still update this more frequently than i did last year.
but i have a good feeling about 2006, i really do. 2006 is going to be for me, and just me.
so on to my reflections of 2005....
