My bashful Rorschach icon is pretty useful for these sort of updates.
So, remember that time I created this journal in the interest of actually updating it regularly so I could document important happenings in my life? About that...
For realz, I suck at this "keeping a journal" thing. Anne Frank would be so disappointed! In lieu of my LJ-death-and-resurrection, I'm going to cheat out of typing out a big block of text about my life in the past few months and just post a meme. Suck on that.
01. FIRST NAME
Victoria. Or Vikki. Or Tori. Or Tor. Or Ta. Or Vous. Lots of stuff. Who uses what name depends on my relationship with the person.
02. AGE
18.
03. LOCATION
Plymouth, MA is my home, but I go to school in Amherst. It's snazzy.
04. OCCUPATION
Animal science major, going into pre-vet.
05. PARTNER?
My boyfriend, Jon. Who I could gush over forever, but I'll save it and just say that I love him and he makes me really happy.
06. KIDS?
Nada.
07. BROTHERS/SISTERS
Chris--or Kipstah, as I prefer to call him--who is three years older than me. He's usually a pretty awesome dude, and from what I've heard of other people's siblings, he is a really great brother.
08. PETS
At home I have Abby, my 9-year old tabby cat, who pretty much hates me (with the exception of my first day back from long periods of time away from her). Then Bowie, our shetland sheepdog who is nearing 2 years. He's purebred. It's obvious to tell by how adorably stupid he is.
09. LIST THE 3/5 BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE
I'm in college right now. I love living there, the whole atmosphere is great, but school itself is the most stressful thing to me. If I want to seriously pursue becoming a veterinarian, I'll have to get into grad school, which is constantly hanging over my head. I feel anxious just thinking about it. But outside of that, UMass is great. I've made some great friends, I thoroughly enjoy my major, and I'm starting to realize that I can be a little bit tough and independent. It's comforting to be capable of being a bit responsible for myself.
I have a boyfriend now. It's friggin' awesome. Just being around Jon makes me feel relaxed and happy and just all-around good. I'm still kind of shocked at the idea of having a boyfriend, and I feel really lucky that he's such a great guy.
I might be getting a job soon! In a veterinary hospital. We'll see. After school, jobs are what stress me out the most. So, we'll see if I'm actually capable of handling the stress that comes with a job.
Uhhh. Other not-awesome things have happened this past year--specifically, in the span of a week I lost my Great Aunt Doris, Great Uncle Richard, and step-grandfather (Pop). Pop threw me off balance because, though he has had problems, he's always been the kind of guy that magically bounces back. I'm also still feeling extremely terrible for not having gone to see him for months up through his death.
And that's about all I can think of.
10. PARENTS
I live with my mum and dad, and they've always been great parents. And they do spoil me.
11. WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS?
Andrea, Lindsey, Sam, Matt, Ryan, Keith, Aaron, Erin, Cat, Jordan, Amanda, Jon, Kayla, Hoff, Corinne, way too many people for me to keep on listing, but I have a lot of awesome friends who put up with me and take care of me and are all-around the coolest people on the planet. :)
Foof. Maybe I'll try to update once a week. For some reason I feel bad about never being able to keep up with a journal of any sort. I'mma make this happen! (Also, I should consider looking at my 101 Things to Do list. 'Cause I think I have a few I could check off. Woo!)
