Is this still the first week?

new

New year: 2009
New resolution: to work hard
New apartment: Wyview
New classes: Byzantine history, Middle Eastern history, French, World Literature, Book of Mormon
New job(s?): Art department, MTC maybe
New experiences: Hopefully a lot.

I'm feeling pretty good about the idea of being a history major with a minor in middle east studies.

christmas eve

Christmas Eve dinner was intense. I'm still full six hours later.

Things I love:
making Christmas gifts
wrapping presents
hanging out with my family
going out with people I have not really been around for a year
catching up with friends
a fridge packed full of free food (pantry too)
and most of all.... a not white Christmas. Beautiful.

Goodbye first full semester of college. You weren't too bad. You went by quickly and quietly.

Dear Winter Semester,
I am looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully we will have some good times together the way I did with Fall Semester. You will be bringing a lot of changes, I am sure. New classes, new home, new experiences. Hopefully these new things will be good things. I'll be seeing you soon.
