If 2007 had ended in August, when I was still abroad, I would not have minded. I don't think you could make me re-live this semester for any amount of money, chocolate, or winter hats and scarves.

Tomorrow morning I have a final, and a project due Wednesday, along with my Berkeley application due tomorrow. I am hoping for a shopping trip on Tuesday, though I feel like I don't even know what to get for anyone, or feel like anyone really needs a gift from me right now. I'm so confused.. I usually love Christmas and giving nice things to people, but after hours and hours of online shopping, nothing stands out to me at all, and there's nothing that I "have" to get for anyone. I'll figure it out.

2008 will be worth a New Year's celebration, because it is finally the year of graduation. I'll spend my spring semester finishing easy classes and travelling to grad schools, and hopefully travelling for fun with friends or to visit friends. Kevin and I are hoping to come up with a great Australian adventure. And I sort of just want to go hang out in Granada again, even if I don't accomplish anything. It will probably be a huge shock to begin grad school wherever I finally decide to go, but a move that I'm really looking forward to, since it will probably be somewhere on the west coast. But who knows:)

It is windy as anything tonight. I was walking home and was blown down the sidewalk more than I have ever been moved by wind. It was ridiculous, and my apartment feels like it might rattle apart because it's way up high, and windier up here, and not all of my windowpanes lock. I wouldn't be surprised if my AC unit flew out of the window.

Tomorrow was supposed to be a rendesvous to DC, since Rebekah and Collin and John and everyone will be there for dinner. I was needing this trip so very much, and it was a delightful little surprise to maybe see Rebekah, but instead I am dealing with stupid people and their irresponsible behavior. I will be so glad to have no responsibilities after January, and will probably never take on another leadership position. (mark my words, ever-binding lj, haha) What an adventure. Have I grown as a person, yes. Have I learned a lot of important things about myself, yes. About others, yes. About communication and lack thereof, yes. Do I ever want to voluntarily do this all again, no. Do I want to be paid to do it again, no. 2007 in Baltimore, definitely not one of my better decisions.

And with that, I'm going to come up with a late dinner and rest up for tomorrow's academic and other excitement:)
