So where do I begin, this year has been anything but good, and when I say this I dont mean I was depressed or anything, I had my fair share of goodtimes, but thats all they were.  To those of you who dont know, Spring '07 i changed my major from Biochem to Psych (B.S.).  I almost lost an important friend because of stupid petty differences.  In May, I was in my very first car accident, nothing to serious, but my car needed a new front bumper.  In June, I got a job at Staples, at where I still currently work.  I also got my nose pierced in June.  School started off great except for the whole room switch thing, but i had the car, i was working on the weekends, and there was a possible relationship in my future.  I fianally switched rooms, and i love my room mate and suite mates, they're awesome girls and i feel like i've made three new best friends.  Things were going ok until about november.  I found out one of my suitemates was leaving for main campus after christmas.  and barely six months after my first accident, and i had found myself in another.  this time was a little worse, new bumper, grill, radiator, and hood.  Driven maybe 4 times since the accident.  I'm just tired of things going wrong, some one who will remain un-named thinks i was being unrealistic by saying i was never going to drive again, but im very slowly believing she was right, and she knows how much i dont like admitting it.  Obviously the possible relationship didnt work out...im thinking that it was for the best.  But 2007 is fianally over and i want to move on with my life.  I want to better myself, and this is not just one of those resolutions that nobody ever keeps.  This is the real thing,  I have wonderful friends who i love, a family who loves me even though i sometimes question it, but there are somethings that i want that I'm not always sure i can get or are meant to have.  I want things to start going write, i feel as though i have hit rock bottom and that things can only get better.  Some would say things can only get worse, and I'm sure thats true but i wanna be positive about 2008.  I want to find someone I care about, who cares about me too,  I want to get better grades so I'm not such a dissappointment to my parents, I want to be happy with my life even if it's only for a moment or two.

So after saying all that, here are my resolutions for the year....

- Straight A's for at least Spring '08 semester

- Good grades for the rest of my college career

- Get in shape

- Be a better person

So on that note, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, i hope it is a good one.
