spryngWorking on my application - can someone tell me what a credit is again? Is it how many hours a class is a week? I'm never sure. Oh NCF and your lack of grades and credits. I love you, but man, it feels a little odd leaving GPA and whatnot blank.
The anxiety is getting kind of out of hand. I've started using the elliptical, though, even if it is shitty and loud. Exercise is good. But I still can't wait for January and it's promise of insurance. I'm starting to consider drugs, because really, it's been a year and a half and it's still here. Sometimes worse, sometimes better, but still here.
Back to the application - those of you who took Medieval Latin with me - do you remember what texts we translated? There's this awesome part of the app where I get to fill it out with everything I've read in Latin and I'd like to include those, if I can, but I haven't got the papers anymore. ;.;
Mm, the year is ending and it's getting to be that introspective, looking back on things time. A number of people have posted that recurring meme of taking the first line from the first post of each month. I looked back to see if that would actually show how the year went and was surprised at just how little I've been posting this year. On average of four or five posts a month, as opposed to the days when I'd post nearly every day... man.
January - I'm so excited about this year. Heading off across the country is going to be so much scarier than going to Russia.
Which, actually, it really was.
February - Shaw got the job!
March - All I ever talk about is thesis.
April - I showed up at tutoring today only to find out that they thought I had a -two- week break.
May - My wallet came in the mail yesterday.
June - Back from the wedding.
July - Sitting around doing nothing has never suited me well.
August - Today's our last long day.
September - The leaves are turning.
October - I sound horrible, but I feel better.
November - NaNo has finally arrived!
December - It was sunny yesterday so I went outside, found a bench, and worked on my Greek in the sun.
That pretty well encapsulates my year - high, fearful hopes, happiness with Shaw, thesis, tutoring, the fear of losing my wallet and the subsequent annoyances in getting it back, all the weddings this summer, then itching to leave FL, then the trip, then the excitement at being up north, then dealing with losing insurance while being sick, then NaNo, and now my wild attempts at trying to make my application look better. A full year, definitely, and one of the few where I actually fulfilled many of my resolutions:
Now that it's past the time to reflect and instead the time to look forward, this is what I want out of 2008, what I will strive for, and what I will hope for:
I want to graduate. I need to graduate. I will graduate. And I did!
For graduation I want to have lost enough weight to fit into my old khaki pants, so that I can fulfill my promise to the Greek professor and dress up like the Latin professor. xp Not really, but I did fit into them and I did go as R.
Leave Florida. Definitely did that.
Have fun decorating a new apartment with lady. ^-^ (omg - paint colors!!) Everything except the paint, since we're not allowed to paint the walls.
Eat healthier - as in, less of the sugars and more of the vegetables and fruits. Now that the holidays are over, I'm going to greatly limit the sugar consumption. And I am definitely eating more fruits and veggies and eating healthier in general.
Exercise. Even if it's only twice a week, I want to go to the fitness center. I have that hour that is needed and I need to use that hour. Failed a little at this upon coming to Seattle, but I was doing pretty well with the daily walks over the summer and now I'm starting again...
Save money. Did and still able to do! Excellent.
Write. But this will be after I bacc and finish revisions. Or today. Again, very much yes. First I finished writing Guardians in October and then I won NaNo and now I'm writing Mili's story.
Never ever take lady for granted. Or any of my friends, for that matter. I still do this from time to time, but not having my friends here, it's much harder to take them for granted. ;.;
Stop taking my frustrations with thesis out on my roommates. Instead, I'll probably become highly anti-social for a bit and disappear into the library. But afterwards I will be partying like there's no tomorrow. I think I managed this. I certainly think I was much grouchier before Christmas than I was in the spring, if only because I actually holed myself away come March and April.
On that note, always keep in mind that I am young and still allowed to do stupid things, because this is the spring-time of my youth! It is! It still is!
