Yay New Years
My computer sucks, so the last few times I've tried to update since being back home in Texass for break, it freezes up right as I finish an entry and so I lose it and get too annoyed to rewrite it. Let's see if it'll work this time..
First, of course...surveys. Surveys are my favorite.
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before? Lived in a foreign country (England)!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I never make them...although it has nothing to do with the new year, but it's the fact that it's my last semester of college, I am pledging to work on job searching and networking
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope
4. Did anyone close to you die?No
5. What countries did you visit?The Netherlands, England, Belgium, Italy, Canada

8.What was your biggest failure? Being careless with other people's feelings

11.Whose behavior merited celebration? Stephanie Isabel
12. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Appalled - the people who studied abroad and partied every night and spent what I spent on groceries in 2 weeks in one night out at the bars! Depressed - probably someone who did something bad I read about in the news
