| | This is my New Year's post:
2005 Year in Review.
1. Family
All's well here. We all still love each other and we're all still in good health which are both a plus. Um, it seemed there were a lot more arguments this year: birthdays, law schools, jobs, LSATs, classes, etc. My brother and I have gotten a lot closer this year. I've become a lot more open with him and I only wish that he would become a lot more open with me. My great-grandmother died in February; she was 96. By the time the year ended, I decided that it was time to permanently move out. So, even though I love my family, home is now Flagstaff.
2. Academics
Phew. Stress. That's a good word for the whole category: stress. I managed a "B" spring semester of '05, straight "A's" during the summer, and another "B" this past fall semester. But, it's ok because I still have an ok GPA. I've already started studying for LSATs. I've been averaging about a 160, and my goal is a 170. I figure since I still have over a year before I take the test, I can really get my score up. I've had some bomb-ass teachers and some teachers who need a bomb dropped on his ass. I learned a shitload, and in the longrun, that's what truly counts.
3. Extracurriculars
Hm, I suck at commitment (in regards to extracurriculars). This year, I started in hall council, Hillel, mock trial, and phi alpha delta. As of now, I'm not in any of them. I still have my job at the honors office... that's kinda extracurricular. And, of course, I still have Sigma Beta Kappa! That group takes up every Thursday-Sunday (sometimes more). So, it's a huge time commitment. I also managed to squeeze in some volunteering at Clark County Legal Services.
4. Location
Flagstaff still rocks my world. Tinsley is awesome. I was glad to get out of Cowden and I love my new friends in Tinsley. It's so cool that we all live so close and all get along so well. Uh, been back to Vegas. I was here over the summer, with my internship. Here for spring break, Thanksgiving and back here for Christmas. I don't think I went on too many trips... Iowa, went there twice this year. Went to Disneyland with my bro... good times. Flag and Vegas is about it though.
5. Fun
Hm, I like this category. Well, I started out the very beginning of this year with a shitload of drinking. Then stopped drinking. Went to a lot of parties. Home for the summer. Sober summer. Been drinking and smoking like crazy this semester. Partying. Hanging out with the Summer Brew Crew (I heart them all of so very much). This semester, I've been to a glow in the dark party, highlighter party, black light party, Communist party, martini party, Rasta party, Halloween party, Christmas party, New Years party, birthday parties, summer beer nights, girl's night, and so many more that I can't remember enough to be able to name all of them. SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!
6. Romance
Wow, thinking about this year as a whole is insane. I guess I broke up with Alex right when spring semester started. Then, I hooked up with a few random people (not going to include names). I dated a kid named Ben for a week and a half. He told me that he was falling in love with me. I got scared and broke up with him. That same night I had an awesome hookup with one girl and two guys-- all together. Sooo much fun (so much drama, lol). Um, stuck to myself for the summer. Gave up on boys once school started. Made out will all my friends during the first month of school. Gave up on relationships. Swore off boys again and decided to focus on school instead. Met a guy who is apparently amazing at proving me wrong. He made me not give up on guys or relationship. Ian's awesome and we have this crazy, cool laid back relationship. It works sooo well cause it's exactly what we both want. It's been a few months already. I'd tell you the exact date, but we didn't bother to remember because we don't care. He's coming to visit me in less than a week and I can't wait!!! This one's good; I think he's a keeper.  |
especially me...
