Christmas.
So everyone should get excited, because come New Year's Eve, my Best of 2004 list will be posted on Punknews. You all should read it, as well as every other staff reviewer/editor's list. Good times.
Looking back on 2004, it was an insane year. I went from middle of nowhere Minnesota to living middle of downtown Chicago. I changed majors. I met so many new people. I now have friends living in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, and many many more states that I can't even think of. I met someone who makes me feel amazing.
I still haven't to this day smoked or drank anything. It's odd. It's becoming less and less of an issue, but every once in a while, it comes up.
This year has seen me at my most depressed (this summer at the warehouse) and my happiest (now). I'm not even sure how to tie it all together.
I've done a lot of thinking about relationships this past year. Analyzing how and why I feel the way I do about certain girls. I found out I had a tough time separating out girls who I am friends with and find attractive and girls that I really want to date. And I'm pretty sure I've got that figured out right now.
I can't even think of how to describe next year. I might be spending five weeks of my summer in Prague studying. I'm going to become a tutor for Fiction Writing. I'm going to be on my way towards teaching classes, and then on to actually teaching a class. Then one more year, then grad school. Then I'll be a teacher. It seems far off, but it's not. Future is a new concept to me.
I tried to make a list of everyone who has impacted my life, but it got too long. I couldn't make it very far. Thank you for reading my ramblings. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for making a difference in my life. Who knows what 2005 will bring? All I know is that I hope for it to bring me closer to as many people as possible.
