in 2007, i made seventy-five posts. the highest month was february, with twelve. the three-way tie for lowest is zero in september, november, and december. that's a little over six posts a month. i think i'm the only person even keeping track of this, and i can't quite figure out what the purpose is anymore. perhaps i'm growing out of livejournal like grownups should.
i remember writing in the first weeks of 2007 that 2006 was a year of traveling. i had no idea what was ahead of me. in 2007, i haven't spent two consecutive weeks in my home. the idea of "unpacking" is sort of a joke, as the only real reason for it is to pack up again for a different trip. i find it comical also to note that since i left student housing in sydney on november 7, i haven't spent a consecutive two weeks anywhere, much less home. i'm looking forward to getting back to wheaton and settling down a little bit.
yes. i'm looking forward to getting back to wheaton. i know i was talking about not going back. i have thought better of this idea. if i left, i would be running away from unfinished business. i am not yet done. on a related note...
a few weeks ago, i filled out an electronic application for my degree next december instead of the following may. it's a semester early. if i pass all my classes in the next two semesters, i'm done. it's a little scary, but it feels like the right thing. i really don't know what's going to happen once i'm out, or where God will take me. it makes more sense to me, though, than spreading all those classes i have to take out and filling in with classes i might like and stress myself out a little more in the process. does that make sense?
the internship i was at last summer has asked me back this summer--except this time they'll probably pay me and they want me to get credit for it. last time i was taking advantage of nepotism. this time, they want me for me. i feel like i'm getting groomed to work there, and i'm not sure how i feel about that. it's an in-store marketing/advertising agency: not really my heart's desire, but i'll go wherever God wants me and take whatever experience i can get.
while at that summer internship in chicago, i plan on taking some classes at columbia college in chicago for further graphic design [and related fields?] training. busy busy busy little bee.
what will 2008 bring? i have no great plans of going to other continents (except perhaps perhaps back to london to visit a friend studying abroad), but great hopes of learning about how to be an adult Christian female American friend girlfriend student. in 2008, i vote in a presidential election. in 2008, i graduate. in 2008, i turn 21. by the end of this year, i'll be facing completely new giants with nothing much to my name but the things i know and the armor of God.
i'll be living in mac 414 with amy's sister anna by next week. come visit. we're going to get a couch. see you there.
