Old & New

This blog is one-year-old today. Hurray!

To recap on some of the old things that are still moving strong since the beginning of this blog:

Still In School: I will be in college for many years to come. But for all that I complain about I love it. I love learning new things. I love sitting in a class and absorbing information from my professors. Each has their own unique background and worries, and yet each decides to dump their frustrations on young, bright-minded students. There's nowhere in the world you can get the same level of connectivity than in an university classroom...at least that I've experienced in my few years.

Still With My Guy: We've been together for almost a year and a half now and things are going swimmingly. No matter how jacked up life can get we can still get together and hash out our frustrations. We make each other laugh. I have two goofy nicknames for him, which I use just to bug the crap out of him. Love is grand and we still got it!

Still Short: Unfortunately, I am still part of the munchkin brigade. This gives me some anxiety still, though the nightmares have gone away (just kidding). No, really. I'm short but I can live it. There are some definite perks to being on the smaller side.

Still Procrastinate: Well, that was to be expected. *snicker*


Now to talk about potential for new things to appear in the blog over the next few months:

NaNoWriMo: Somewhere during the beginning of this month I got the bright (insane) idea to join NaNoWriMo. See, what happen was, I went to the official website and made the mistake of signing up for the challenge. This was stupid on my part. As I am taking five courses this semester that means five loooonnnggg term papers to write. During the month of November. Somehow my brain decided that I can also handle 50,000 words in a month - something I have never accomplished in my life.

More Trips: As my life has become more adult-like, my father has requested my presence more in Bakersfield. That means more bus trips, more interesting stories from Los Angeles. I love my family in B-town, but family issues make these trips complicated. An older brother in jail and a step-mother who loves a dog more than me makes for happy times. Still, I get to see my little brother and sister. Plus, hockey. Nothing like sports to bring the family together.

New Computer: A computer from China will be arriving at my door tomorrow morning (technically today). My father, after many stern moments, decided to get me a new laptop after ditching the idea to give me one of his old ones. I dig old laptops - I dig hand-me-downs. This new laptop is not something I require or even asked for. But I'm happy to receive it as it will allow me to use my computer more often as I currently share on.

Procrastinate Less: Psych!


So there ya go. Some old. Some new. All good times.
