Happy New Year!

Ah, a new year! I love New Years. I'm not sure why exactly, but it just feels like a fresh start (which, if you think about it, doesn't make any sense since the only thing that changes is what year you write on your checks). I am looking forward to what this year has to offer. I have some New Years' Resolutions that I want to start chipping away at, too. Most years I make a resolution about who I am -- something that will make me become more of the woman that I feel God is calling me to be. This year, I want to be nicer. I know that sounds stupid, but I don't feel like I've been as nice as I can be toward people. I also made a few resolutions about things that I have wanted to accomplish for a long time. Maybe I'll write more about that some other time.



I have a roommate this semester! Have I told you that yet? It's actually going really well. I enjoy living with Stacey, of course it has been an adjustment from having a room to myself. I think that she and I will get along very well -- and I also think that we'll learn a lot from each other this semester.



I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do next year as far as extracurricular activities are concerned. I've thrown around the idea of being an R.A. quite a bit, but I'm not sure that I want to make a committment as big as that next year. I don't think that I want to be on SA again next year, but we'll see. That's something else I've been tossing around. These decisions have to be made very soon because the application processes will begin early this coming semester.



Classes begin on the 14th. Until then, I'm working 8-5 weekdays for housekeeping (on campus). My mom is coming over today to hang out! I'm looking forward to spending some one-on-one time with her -- that's something we don't get nearly enough of. The next time I'll be home is for winter break on February 16th.



In case you're wondering, here's my schedule for next semester:

Oh! One more important thing! I got a new cell phone for Christmas! A real one, too! I don't have it yet, because they were out of stock before Christmas and still haven't gotten another shipment in. Anyways, I'll be on a plan that gives me unlimited minutes and unlimited text! I'll let you know what the new number is when I get it.

I guess that's all the news I have. :)
