So yesterday was Christmas. I hope whoever reads this found themselves having a great day spent with family and friends..I know I did. However, I did have a damper put on my holiday celebration when I found out I had to work on Christmas Eve, because Jewish doctor's have no mercy, so I went there for a few hours and got my stuff done. It's funny though, when I was told that the office was open people said to me "well that day is not really a true holiday", and I realized later that they were the ones that took off. After that I fell back into my usual day-before-Christmas routine. My aunt and Baba slept over so we all went to mass, ate a delicious shrimp dinner, and put presents under the tree. I knew basically all my gifts but I had a few nice suprises thrown in there. I have to say..my favorite presents probably are my Ed Hardy's, my egyptian cotton sheets, and cute boots. The rest of my family eventually filtered in and Elyse made her way over to spend the day at my house. I think it was pretty amazing that we could spend most of the day eating, talking, and laughing..since this was the first Christmas without my Nanny. Although there were times that I felt really empty and weird when I remembered what a big factor she was in my family.
So besides Christmas, the fall semester previously ended and I believe I got straight B's..maybe a possible A but not all my grades are posted yet. [Whoever said skipping a few classes will kill you obviously never realized it won't.] So I'm pretty happy about that. Hmm...New Years is coming up and that means 2008 is upon us. I really think that 2007 was one of the hardest years for me to endure because I went through things I never experienced. At the end of February my Nanny passed away, I dislocated my knee right after my birthday, and I got into my first fender-bender when it snowed a few weeks ago. I guess in retrospect things could be worse, but I don't know. Obviously the first thing that I stated hit me the hardest. I really don't like to think or talk about it..but I don't know, it's such a weird feeling.
Anyway, in 2008 I've decided to change a few things. I'm going to get healthy..stop eating junk and exercise. After I disclocated my knee I gained back weight that I lost and then a little more and I'm not too happy about that so I need to do something. I'm also going to be turning 21 in April and I can't friggen wait, so this year better be awesome and produce some great nights. I'd also really like to meet someone. After having failure after failure in the relationship category of meeting the right guy I decided that single was probably my best bet..to just have a good time and enjoy my youth. But now, I'd just really like to meet someone..so we'll see.
Well anyway, have a good New Year's everyone!
