2008-2009

Christmas break saved my life! I'm really happy to be home this year. :) I've just been working and playing with my sisters. Life couldn't be better than it is right now! This past semester... I'm not going to lie... Was extremely hard on me. I had a bunch of friends leave and I just stopped hanging out with others. Which was sad, but I've learned to accept it, embrace it, and move on. Who honestly cares anymore! I also liked a new boy for the first time in what felt like forever. That of course fell through... Which, I am very okay with at this point in my life. He ended up falling for my best friend. And... I guess all I can say is... If he's not going to like me, why not like my best friend? By the way... that best friend and I have always had our ups and downs. And, even though I love her to death, I've decided that I need to not hangout with her so much. (That won't be a problem with her new boy friend.) I didn't do so hot on school this semester either... I took 4 prereqs for the premed program and got a little too overwhelmed. So, I'm going to be taking things a little easier this semester and only take 2 prereqs for nursing (I changed my major). So, hopefully I am able to relax a little more if you know what I mean for the homework department!? Minus being home on break I've been going to the temple once a week and it has been super good for my soul! I've needed that spiritual high and I'm glad I can get it at the temple. So, I've decided I'm going to keep that habit up! :D Another truly great friend of mine has been out of town on a cruise for the break.... So, I've literally talked to like no one over break (minus my roommate and occasionally texting a friend). And, I can't complain. I actually kind of like it. I was pretty sick of everyone when I left... And, not talking to anyone there hasn't been that hard at all. I'm thinking that this next semester is going to be a break through for me.... Or, at least I hope it is! I think this post is kind of my end of year thoughts... So, I think I'll write a few thoughts about 2008 down and a few hopes/goals for 2009.

Experiences both good and bad that 2008 brought me:
