Aww, wow. I just had to share this email I just got:
----
Subject: Email from the Past
Dear Future Version of Me,
Congratulations on making it to Graduation day! Right now is seems so far away (although I try not to think too much about it... it\'s coming up pretty rapidly). By this point I probably have a job lined up, or at least plans for the summer. Maybe I\'m traveling some where, or maybe I\'m going to graduate school (although that seems a bit unlikely). Today is January 1st, 2007 and it\'s the start of a new year. I want to make this year a fresh start, I want to worry less and try to have more fun. Did I succeed?
Right now I am at home in California enjoying New Years Day with Mom, Dad, Kelly and Connor. This afternoon, Kelly and I are going to watch Dad and Connor play in a hockey game against one another. Mom is making an amazing roast for dinner. This winter break I did a ton of baking and relaxing (although the downside of that was that I gained a ton of weight which I now have to lose). Kelly got a brand new Apple computer and at the moment, everyone is a little stressed out trying to figure out how to set it up and move all of the files from her old computer (which is nearly dead) to her new one.
In the coming year, I\'m going to try to work on my party website (in case I never did, and I forgot about it, it\'s a website that targets people aged 18-28 and helps them plan parties on small budgets in small spaces), do some investing, and generally try to enjoy myself more. Having a lighter course load should help. I\'m also going to try to keep a journal and make an entry every day this year. At least that resolution is one I should be able to keep, even if I just write a few words.
Today, January 1, 2007, a lot of things worry me and I\'m nervous about leaving home tomorrow to go back to school. I\'m going to miss my family a lot. I\'ll bet none of that\'s changed. I hope I am still healthy and safe, and I am surrounded by my family on this special day as I move to a new point in my life. Congratulations, I never could have made it this far without me...keep up the good work!!
