another year over...
Wow.. I can hardly believe that 2006 is almost over. So much has happened this year, so much has changed.
School was insane this year, both in the spring and fall semesters, but good insane. Taking all these classes like Neuroscience, and Human Gross Anatomy and Physiology and whatever... its like, wow, I really am starting to get into my major classes. I really am going to be a physical therapist. And it's nice to feel like I've finally made some progress, especially since I have another three years to go.. blech.
And dance? Holy crap. so much has changed on that front.. 12 months ago I was recovering from a torn plantar fascia on my right foot- pushing the boundaries of course because I was also trying to get ready for the school performance. May kind of flew out of nowhere and that started the feising season. Who knew that it would probably end up being my last? But at least I made the most of it. I didn't start out the summer doing that well at feises.. but I drilled a lot at home (and watched Kelly like a hawk lol) and ended up with a good solid performance at Youngstown and Pittsburgh in October. I'm still not sure if that made it harder or easier to walk away from dance. But I try not to think about it as quitting.. but rather a 'reassignment of focus'. With all the extra time I had from not being at the studio, I was able to study more. Which was nice.
People have walked into and out of my life this year. I made a lot of great friends in my classes at CSU this year. I'm so grateful to have met everyone that I sat with, talked with, studied with, whatever. Several people seem to have walked out of my life this year. John still hasn't called me (ass face). And I'm trying not to be upset by that. I'm trying to tell myself that there's nothing wrong with me... and that I didn't do anything wrong.. or annoying.. but... it's hard. Uncle Bob B. walked out of everyone's lives this year too... and that's a shame. I'm glad that he was able to be there for Colleen's wedding. But it's too bad that Jennifer won't have her father to walk her down the aisle.
I can't talk about the people that came into and out of my life without thanking the ones who stayed.
Maggie, Rachel, and Maresa. My god, what would I have done without all of you this year. I'm so incredibly lucky to have friends like you.
And LeeAnn, you rock. Seriously. You're the big sister I always wanted :0) Thank you for everything you've done for me this year, being my shopping buddy, watching grey's anatomy with me, listening to me rant, confiding in me, inviting me over to your house to talk and hang out, and for getting me back into reading more books. I hadn't been reading many fun books because of studying for school, but you sent me home with that huge stack of books one night... and I took a weekend to read like 2 1/2 books.. and it made a huge difference in my mood. :0)
Alright I'm gonna stop being sentimental now. :)
With all the things that happened and changed in 2006 it should be interesting to see how much more changes in '07.
