Happy New Year 2012

It's now 2012. It's neat seeing 1/1. i think that's just about the most exciting thing ever. Yay.

But anyway, this year was a trip. All kinds of crazy stuff, good and bad, happened. Considering where i am and what i've learned, i suppose i wouldn't have it any other way. Actually, that's crap. i would have it in a way so none of the bad stuff happened, but unfortunately i can't pick and choose. What i can do is try and prevent the same mistakes from happening so that i can have one of those years where there's only good, but we'll see how it goes.

i feel like if i want to have a good blog, it's important to blog frequently. Not so frequently that i'm just writing about what kind of cereal i ate or why i'm being emo on a given day, but i've realized that writing is something that easily atrophies. Kind of like if you don't speak frequently or socialize then you feel all mentally out of whack when a situation comes up that requires speaking or socializing. Yeah, this is all a huge newsflash. i'm not going to act like my new year's resolution is to write more, but maybe i should. Next!

School is whatever. i realize more and more how classes and all these things are hoops to jump through. Maybe a little less banal since some are directly related to my future career, but i really don't see how anatomy of the gut and the cardiovascular development of embryos is important for me. Le sigh... Oh well, at least i passed. So next quarter will be fun.

i really like the people of my class. i can't say i really get a chance to talk to a lot of them since it's tiring just going to classes much less saying hello to everyone you know in a meaningful way. i'm already slightly dreading the obligatory "so how was your break?" with every single person. i'm the worst. But seriously, the classmates are cool. It's weird, but for some reason i can't really click with anyone else like i did with my friends back in MKAY. i mean, maybe i was too old and aloof to really understand the younger people i went to undergrad with. And maybe there was some weird imprinting going on with nostalgia stamping itself really hard so i could never forget the glory MKAY years. Either way, i get along with almost everyone nowadays, but very very few people have my absolute trust like the good ole' boys. Something that's worth thinking more about, but that's another day.

The break was nice. It's been like 2 weeks and it's been crazy tiring. i've probably driven like a full day's worth out of those 2 weeks and i feel like i've slept like half a day total out of those 2 weeks. So off to bed i go.
