2K went by fast... now I can't write that on any checks anymore.. maybe i could
do 2K1 yeah, that would be coo.



Resolutions:

1) use "coo" whenever and wherever I can.  It shall be my new word for this
year.



2) Lose weight.  I can't stand being this size anymore.  I miss wearing some
clothes I used too, and more importantly, I can't really afford to get an
entire new closet of clothes every couple of months.  So, I have about 4
different sizes of clothes in my closet and I can't fit comfortably into 3 of
them.  Time for change! Diet started yesterday, and i'm taking two p.e. classes
this semester.  things will get better, they have to, I have to fit into
Sarah's old prom dress by April/May.



3) Be more active.  After being super-involved in my high school days, a
semester of not really doing anything but school work has left me wanting more.
Volunteering at the state school this holiday has put the spark back into me.
Hopefully, before the end of this school year, I'll start volunteering at an
Elementary School or at the Museum.  I would like to read to little kids.  I
like to read. Which brings me to..



4) Read more "fun" things.  *i.e. not assigned*  I have a bad tendancy not to
read unless I have too ( i like pressure ).  So it is really difficult for me
to read for pleasure.  I need to work on that.



5) Stop spending so much money.  Got my balance today in the mail, and although
i need to go deposit christmas money and that will fix a lot of the problem, I
am going broke very quickly.  But here I go towards tutoring and what not for
money.



What I got out of this year:



Most importantly, I have developed a really close relationship with Brian that
I didn't have a year ago.  This is truly unlike anything else I've ever been
in, and without any doubt, he is my best friend.  "Thank you" by Dido makes me
think of him and cry.  That is all I'm going to say about that.



This year has also given me a big change in me graduating from High School and
going to college.  It doesn't feel like a big change, just another school.  But
I have the creeping sensation that I'm becoming an adult.  Notice, I didn't say
mature.  or Manure.  It has caused me to think a lot about the future, and that
is really fun.



And like Liz, I've had major changes in my other relationships.  I've grown
really close to Jamie (through her accident, and my illness) and somewhat
closer to Sarah (my connection with God) as they are the only people from my
class that I've kept in touch with.  I've felt a lot of people drifting away,
by either my or their choice.  I've felt betrail (although i can't spell it),
great joy, worry, anger, and what a real bond between people feels like.  Yeah
emotions!



Well I need to continue in the clean-a-thon.
