Okay, okay so new years' came and went without me giving more than a minute of my time to coming up with "resolutions." But after being back at southwestern for almost a week now, i've have thought plenty about how to better my character in this new year.

-

First off, I have decided that i will no longer allow myself to feel depressed about things in my life that i cannot change. This past year i've carefully hid myself from the world around me, and held back so much. I want to be brave, be vulnerable. I want to take initiative, be consistent, be involved. I want to be defined- think through what i believe and how i feel. And i want to be concerned. I don't want to just be "okay" with whatever and whomever comes my way. I want to live passionately and i think i'd like to make a difference here.

Tomorrow is a new day. A start, and maybe a new beginning for me.

i have class

So I've been to most of my classes once, and i think my favorite's are chemistry and biology. but then again, it's only been one day. :D spanish comes next, which won't be too bad. i think learning new languages is exhilirating. Then, there's writing and critical thinking. we'll see about that one. today is a beautiful day. i'm in a good and scatter-brained mood.

a new day

today has been good so far. maybe this semester will be much better. i love the name giselle.

355 more days

Only 355 more days left in 2006!! I wonder how fast those days will go by this year.

So what happened in the last couple of weeks in 2005 and what's happened in the first's of 2006?

1. I flew to California all by myself. haha.

2. I had a great time, despite the rain i hate so much.

3. I got engaged.

4. What?! did i just say i got engaged? yup! i did, and everyone knows it. What they may not know is that it's the best thing that's ever happened to me--so far. :D

5. i said goodbye and left california. :(

6. i've lazed around for days and days.

7. i've learned how to knit--sorta.

that's about it. school will start in one week. i wonder how this semester will compare to the last. i hope it is ten times better. and i hope that loneliness won't be the emotion i feel the most. i hope it is happiness, mixed with anticipation, and a lot of energy. With that, i think i would have a great semester.
