What I Want. January 13, 2009

This year (or, I should say, last year) I created my wish list right after the holiday my family celebrates known as Christmas to most other people. It didn’t make any sense, but i let myself go wild. The sky was the limit, and it was very liberating. I think I was only able to do it because of the money I got as gifts, which gave me a few new possibilities. 

I guess I got so into that idea that I forgot to make a New Year’s resolution. I hate those anyway, but they’re just kind of obligatory. So I decided that I need to become more assertive and notice when I really feel a certain way about something. I’ve been trying it and for the most part I don’t feel any different, so I’m a little concerned that I’m not “doing it right.” But even just keeping it in mind makes me feel a little more in control of myself, which I do really like. 

It feels nice to be liked by other people, but mostly I like to love myself. Which happens rarely… hence my resolution. Anyway, lately I’ve felt really liked, and luckily I’m able to say that I like all the people who like me! That can be rare, I hear. I was recently approached by a couple friends who want me to live with them this summer and next year, and the arrangement sounds fantastic. But I’ve also talked a ton with one of my friends about living with her next year. And I have another friend I want to live with as well. Those two friends don’t get along very well, or at least they wouldn’t if they were living together, and I can’t make a decision between the three. Plus, my parents have expressed their desire for me to live on campus next year, which is the last thing I want to do. I realize it’s an experience everyone has to have, but I am sooo over it. So it’s a hard decision.

Things that have been on my mind…

I would kill to go to the inauguration. oh my gawd. I was looking up ticket prices and they’re outrageous, but I would do anything to be able to go. The musician lineup is incredible too. And then there’s Barack…

My class is going to kill me this quarter. We have a huge quarter long project where we study a character, and I want to do mine on my godmother, but I don’t know if she’s be down for it, and I haven’t talked to her about it. And she’s the only person I’ve really been excited about interviewing and stuff.

What else…

Aristotle simply can suck it. argh.

But on a better note… tomorrow is Tuesday, and I sing then : )
