2010 2011

[sushes]

Alright, let's see what happened in 2010, month to month breakdown! I think this had to be one of the boringest year I've had in ages.
Ugh was sober when I started this, now I'm kinda buzzed and typing. HURRAY.

• Went snowboarding for the first time, came back and died from exercising more than I've done for many years.
• Went to AX again, with friends
• QUIT RO. ONCE AND FOR ALL. This is like the 3rd, 4th? time I quit? IT'S LIKE A FUCKING DRUG. 
• Fell in love with Izaya and thus began my 9 months long addiction to Durarara
• Wrote a fan fiction for the first time
• Met some wonderful friends from the fandom <3
• Bought my first doujinshi. (Inumog- Play tunes)
• ...Along with above, bought my first x-rated item. (PR0N)
• Almost got ran over by a car
• Got straight A's all year, which correlates with my downward slope of social interactions.
• Took my Mcats, and did aight. Just, aight. Average score to get into med school, which is aight :).
• Had the most god awful summer break ever, consisting with intensive mcat studying and 2 writing classes... What was I thinking.
• Sewed my first cosplay costume.
• Taught kids about the brain.
• Found a research position at the one of the most gorgeous looking research institutes I've ever seen
• Went to work shit wasted, and had lots of fun! nobody was able to tell even...
• Turned 21. :) Time to kill my liver in Vegas.
• I can't think of anything else anymore...

2011 resolutions:

• GET. INTO. MEDICAL. SCHOOL.
• Find a job after graduation and relax for a year.
• 30 second postmaniac sketches everyday for 5 minutes. -> Draw better.
• Go find a man and see what this relationship business is all about.
• Keep better contacts with friends.
• Learn how to use adobe flash.
• Redesign my website.
• Finish final fantasy 4... Been 2 years now :/.
• Eat healthier, save money, and live happy!
• Write more, keep up with my stories and this journal.
• Learn more Japanese! I was doing so well during summer break.
• (Play with Ruka more! As she requested <3)

Actually 2011 is gonna be quite a break from all I've ever known. I'm going to be graduating in June to be left with one year of absolutely no plans. My grande scheme of life, as mentioned over and over again.. is to enter Medical school and then go on becoming a surgeon, which is going to be more or less be a process of at least 8 years. After reading my journal entries of when I was 13-15, I decided that making stiff long term plans will not work. My immediate goal after college will be finding a fulltime job to support myself for a year, seeing that I absolutely cannot go home (too far and too little opportunities,) this is something that I've only experienced temporarily during the summer of my freshman year. Seeing how the job markets nowadays has been not too wonderful, it'll be pretty difficult I would foresee.

Anyway, I realize this year off will be probably the only year of relax I'll ever have until I retire so I would really like to do something life changing. Of course that requires money, which I do not have and my family has even less of... I've been saving up any leftover student aid since my second year and have gathered quite a hefty amount. Maybe between this June till next August, I would like to travel a bit. Europe comes to mind first, but Japan or China have also been grinding in my thoughts for awhile.

One year is a lot of time, but the last thing I want to do is to waste any of it. So here is to 2011, best of luck to my future :). In any case, the world might end in 2012 for all we know!
