Slightly-Expected

New Year's Resolutions:

Use the computer less.

Become a bike-dude (i.e. bike everywhere).

Exercise more in general.

Practice trumpet and guitar everyday.

Treat everyone how I would want to be treated (and yet, somehow, remain non-cheesy).

Don't take anything or anyone for granted.

Become more selfless.

Write and read everyday.

Try to complete my sentences; not stutter.

There are probably more, but yeah (breaking that last one here sort of).

Well. Here we are. Never really thought I'd get here, much less this fast. But you gotta learn to just accept time I guess. It seems as though it always seems weird to date the papers with the new year, and you don't really ever think you'll get used to it. But then before you know it, you're already used to that new number and the past one seems awfully odd. Same with age and grades I guess. But you've got the whole year to get used to it, too.

July 2008: I hate this place. I will never like France.

August 2008: Ugh. So bored!

September 2008: School is hell. It's pretty much all hell.

October 2008: Ooh! A break! School is still eh. But I've gotten used to it sort of. Major weirdness though.

November 2008: Hmm. Trip. School is whatever.

December 2008: Hey, I actually sort of like this! Key word here is "sort of". And, wouldja look at that- half. way. done almost!

January 2009: ???????

Yeah, its not technically half-way yet, (only 4 more days about) but whatever. It's been a lot. If I were to describe the 6 months in one word, I bet you guys could figure that one out. Considering how much stuff I tell you guys. And continue to. I guess.

They say the second half should go faster. They say the trip is worth it. They say its a great experience. They say I'll like it.

The only thing I don't agree with quite yet is the first one.

And of course, no post is complete without a generic ending that is said often (every year) and therefore means little, but I mean, hey, I'm trying to be considerate here.

{Happy New Year}

No, seriously- have a good one.
