Happy new year!! I certainly had a great New Year's Eve again this year. I spent it at my friend Kate's vacation home in the southern part of the state. It's basically a full-fledged party house, with tons of various people there all the time. It could have easily gotten really overwhelming, but I always have a great time with Kate. We seem to just click. We had a great time drinking way too much, smoking way too much, eating way too much, and you can't forget shopping! Basically that's all I could ask for, so I'm very happy right now.

I don't exactly have any new year's resolutions this year. Should I? I'm actually in a very good place in my life right now, so while there are of course always things to work on, I don't feel like there's anything major like there was last year. 2009 was a good year, filled with lots of growth personally, socially, academically, and just generally. I went from being pretty damn antisocial at school to having three friends whom I can comfortably say I'm now very, very close with, along with many others I'm not quite so close with. It's a good balance. I'm thriving at school with both helping run the Western team and progressing with my Art History major. I can also comfortably say that I'm happy with my body, my weight, and my health - which certainly has not always been the case. I've given up counting calories and feeling guilty about everything I put in my mouth and taken up regularly going to the gym. And I've lost 10 pounds! I've finally begun to be more aggressive with the responsibilities that I've taken on, and I've pleasantly surprised myself that not only can I do it, but I can do it and thrive.

2009 was a good year. Of course it wasn't perfect, but I'm not asking for perfect. Let's strive for balance and continued happiness for 2010. <3

Today I slept in, watched "The Secret Diary of a Call Girl," read "The Undomestic Goddess" (by Sophie Kinsella), worked out, and made crème brûlée. Isn't vacation divine?

I am so happy right now.  I really love school and everything that I'm doing right now.  I love my classes, my professors, my major, my school.  I love the Western team, the people on it, the horses, the instructors.  I love my body, my weight, my health.  Yes, I even love the stress that goes along with all of these things, and I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't any.  Anything worth having is worth working for, and nobody said it would be easy!  I know those are chiches, but they're true!

That's all I really have to say.  I felt that it needed documentation of some sort.  Life is good.  And tomorrow's my birthday!

Holy Shit
