holidays and snow
I haven't written anything in a long time so I thought I would just let people know that I'm still alive. My first term at Christie's Ed is over, and I absolutely love it. I've met some great people (including my roommate, Jocelyn,) and I'm, overall, really happy. I am attempting to enjoy my free time because on January 5, my life will be over as I return to school and sitting. By the way, babysitting rocks. I mean, we all know I'm not a huge fan of small children, but Amanda actually likes me! She's a pain in the ass, spoiled, and slightly manipulative, but let's be honest, I've dealt with those traits in adults, why not in children? She wrote me a poem for Christmas that was so sweet.
I was in CT this past weekend and got to catch up with a bunch of folks and get to know a few new ones. Not always a fan of new people, but I liked the ones that I met. I go home tomorrow for family festivities and am home until Justin and Maureen's party. I can't wait to go home. I miss the fam and the Izzy. Plus I'll probably squeeze into my dad's office to make some money too.
So, I love the snow. Hate the hail but love the snow. However, my window is currently leaking because of the snow on the roof (I'm on the top floor.) Now, when I first moved in, this would have bothered me to no end. Now, I am so much more relaxed. I am leaving tomorrow and will move my stuff far away from the area. I have buckets, and Joc will be here to check in on things. They will fix it. I love my apartment for everything but this stuff. Oh well. C'est la vie. (Note to those of you who have known me for a long period of time: You should be excited by my new found decreased stress and anxiety approach to this. My mind isn't completely freaking out. Who knew it was possible?
So we're supposed to go towards New Years with resolutions. I don't believe in resolutions because no one ever keeps to them. I do, however, hope for one thing: to have a better 2009 than 2008. Don't get me wrong, I have had a lot of great moments in 2008 (mostly in the past 4 months,) but I also hit a new low this year which I would rather not return to in '09. So my goal (or resolution) is to take care of myself so that I don't return to that place (and if I do find myself returning, to try not to burn bridges along the way.)
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year!
