well then. i dont feel i have very much to write about lately. not because things havent been happening, but because i feel that i am staying decently in touch with everyone anyway, so why write about my existence here? but, i suppose i can use it for my own purpose and not for the benefit of others. its about to be the new year again, and thus time for new years resolutions. i cant think of many goals for myself. the usual do good in school, which never seems to happen. i think last year i wanted to earn $6,000 in one year. i think i got just below that, which is fine by me, bc then i get tax returns at the end of this semester. i kinda wanna lose some weight. or not lose weight, but lose an inch around the waist so i dont have to go buy new clothes again and maybe gain some muscle mass. so i guess tone my figure. hopefully this will happen by itself bc im taking ballet this semester. doing something moderately active a few times a week will be beneficial i think. plus ive decided that i want to do something active every weekend (within reason) this semester. i mean, maybe the weekend before finals wont be a good time for a 16 mile hike, but just something every weekend. playing catch at the park (involves lots of running is you suck at catching), or going to the beach and floating around in the water, or going to a flea market (lots of walking involved in shopping!) along with the already planned hiking trips to kauai in february and maui in march. staying active keeps me much healthier and happier i noticed. plus it can be a weekly excuse to not think about homework for a few hours, which could be incredibly good for me. so apart from that i have a list of things that need to be done, not just goals. this summer i want to stay on Oahu... so I need to a)find a place to live (which i have to do soon bc im homeless :() b)find a good paying job for the summer c)take summer school so i can graduate on time d)bring my grades up .5 points so i can apply for scholarships. meh.
on a different note, kurtis came to my place for a few days! it was excellent. i was recovering from a massive stomach flu so it could have been better, but it was still great. he got along well with my whole family and that was very exciting. he met becky for about 8 seconds, but she approves :) we also managed to make it up to the cabin for a while and we went to church sunday morning. so he got a little taste of my at home life. luckily no fights broke out between my family members, so he didnt have to sit there all awkward while people yelled at each other. and he met my doggies, and they liked him and he liked them. so good times! i get to go to cali in a week and hang out with him for a while too, and then we fly on to honolulu for a massive house hunt. fun!
christmas was good too. i got the external hard drive i was hoping for, so soon i get to put all my crap on it, so maybe my computer will run faster! whoo! and i got sexy binoculars that see really far. so i'll be carrying those around with me on my hikes and stuff. they come with a little pouch that attaches to your belt :) i know, its the little things in life... okay, maybe i did have a lot to write about. im just bored. i wanna go play cards with my brothers or something, but its 1PM and one is still asleep and the other is playing his DS. maybe i can poke them...
