new years
I'm awake after new years and don't have a hangover. I only had one glass of sangria and a bunch of shrimp, and some fancy chocolate we got as a present. I watched Carson Daly and Ryan Seacrest on TV, and Ryan (not Seacrest) had to wake me up at midnight so we could say happy new year and kiss. Pretty anti-climatic. None of us had any where to go, except his friends called and invited us to a party, only they didn't call until after midnight.
A lot of things happened this year. I had my first semester of college where I actually gave it my all and that semester was also the first that I got all A's. And I just finished my second semester with all A's! My cousin got married. I got a raise at my after school program job ( but my hours cut). I got a second job at Borders. Elliot died and Archie replaced him. Archie got his own xmas stocking, but Santa have him nothing. Ryan's friends came and visited us. My mom visits us a lot. Shamsa visited us and we cooked Somali food all day. Shamsa is my only friend who has came to visit us. I got electronic Life for xmas. I went to Flahrty's with Trista. Chelsea visited me at work. I had chipolte with Liz after she bought Heroes. I went to a halloween party that got busted by the cops and watched a friend almost get strangled by a psycho drunk guy. My uncle got Alzheimers and my aunt gets sick because she takes care of him and it takes a toll on her heart. I saw her cry for the first time. I befriended some people at school who wear RocaWear and have kids and say "GIRL!" a lot. I love them. I saw Jake Mehr yesterday. I have been with the same person for almost a year and a half and its great. The thing is that sometimes I get judged or made fun of for it, which I don't exactly get. I moved out of my house and away from my best friends because I was broke and leaving for the summer, and ever since we have less and less to talk about. I went to camp this summer and it was terrible - I've definately grown out of that. Never wanted to feel that way. Then, I apartment searched and found a place in Roseville that's huge and cheap and nice. I like my place, but I get judged for living here.
This year has been strange because everything is changing. I feel more productive and independent (even though I live with my boyfriend) than I ever have, but I feel more alone than I ever have. My family is far away and my friends keep quiet. My goals for the coming year is to finish my pre-requisites for nursing, keep my job at Borders, quit my ESNS job, participate in Mayday, and do my best at all of those things.
