Happy New Year
2005 has come to an end. In general, it wasn't too bad a year. I succeeded academically. I had a fun summer and obtained a career springboard in the process. I gained a bit of self-confidence (and was also forced to face the reality of my weaknesses).
On the drive home this morning from my New Years Eve celebration of choice, I thought a lot about the past year. One thing I realized is how much I am like my father, as he and others tell me. It's true. I've come to realize that his influence is probably part of where that nice-guy motif comes from. It also seems that he had a certain frustration when he was my age that is similar to one I am currently experiencing.
Fortunately, his frustration was solved, with quite an interesting outcome.
It seems the only paths to solving mine that are open at this point are going to be painful. But if I don't do something soon, I'll just leave myself open to deeper hurt, as I have experienced in recent times.
But otherwise, things are dandy. "Everything sucks"-type LJ entries are totally not my style. =)
On that note, it's time to go to work on the first day of the year. Ciao.
