FINISHED MY TEN PAGE RESEARCH PAPER!!!

Which is actually just a little over thirteen pages now, plus a two page bibliography. I didn't know I could write that much O_o

We went shopping yesterday, and FYE had this awesome sale on single disk CDs for $10, but out of the six or so that I looked for they only had one I wanted. Ah well, it's still a good one; Ray Guns are Not Just the Future by The Bird and the Bee. It's quirky, but good as far as I'm concerned. Also picked up the second season of Pushing Daisies! Now I can finish the series, I think I missed the last three or so episodes, somehow.

MEANWHILE, I have been playing flute a lot, because I got into district orchestra!!! They only take four flutes, so I was pretty excited. The festival is in less than two weeks though, so I'm a bit rushed to prepare for it. I've been having a little more trouble on flute than usual though; I got braces halfway through December, and I am still trying to adjust, though I'm much better now than when I first got them on.

Also, I got into both of my colleges that I applied and auditioned for :) FIVE MONTHS AND ONE DAY UNTIL GRADUATION <3

Oh myes. New year ahead and new Tricks with life.

I'm getting quite eager here. My next trip will be down to London again at the end of Jan. This will be a lot of fun eventually. Camden town at last!! <3

Anyway I ad gretat ime in Alicante. The sun was amazing and it felt good. I could actually go and work there. In malaga which is an option too for me. I still have no desire to apply into any schools. I have no idea what the hell this year will be. I want to travel. A motive work harder.

I've got an offer for a deal.. or well I made that deal up on myself anyway but If I get that far as receiving the words I'll be more than okay to go with the flow. I'm not particularly afraid of what and how. I'll take it down the way it comes. I'm happy that I know the other party involved fairly well. At least enough that I could put myself into this. I just want to make sure that this is no trick played on me. I've had tricks enough in my life and am tired to be afraid of it. Life is a huge trick on itself. Now where's all the fun then? in the drama.

I don't know why on every new year, I feel like I'll wake up a different person. That somehow the magical changing of the year means immediate change in me as well. 2009 was a year of patience, and it looks like that will still be a part of 2010. Other things that should be a part of 2010:

* Apologize less

* Be kinder to myself

* Eradicate this silly notion of "perfection"

* Cut the bullshit

* Admit when I need help/seek it out more actively

* Volunteer

* Get another tattoo

* Learn how to take a compliment

* Enjoy the little things and realize it's quality, not quantity

* End the guilt


Yeah yeah, kinda vague and cliche. Don't really care. First thing when I get back to MI: kick depression's ass and jump back on the treadmill. Take some time to really figure out how to shake this funk and finally face reality. Despite a handful of amazing experiences, 2009 kicked me when I was down and 2010 will not get the same satisfaction.
