I've got something better for ya...

Ok. I've been MIA not only in real life, but in blog life. I forgive you for hating me and welcome you back to me with open arms.

2009 recap:
The beginning of 2009. Well. The only thing that could be said for it is that it sucked. However, from around April forward, my life only got better. Americorps ended and now I don't have a job, but I am in graduate school so that I can get a job in my chosen career path, and never ever change again (unless I really want to.) I have a very, very, very wonderful boyfriend who I can talk about for long periods of time, which, I'm sorry if you've heard of that. I live in Chicago, a life dream of mine, and I'm ALIVE. Which is the most important part of every single new year and every single day: you wake up and you are alive and it is the best thing that could happen to you. So, I am trying to be more thankful because I certainly don't want to be dead and I am most certainly enjoying being alive, and for that, we can all be happy.

2010, I'm excited for. I had an embarrassing incident ringing in the new year, and I don't know what that means. However, I don't care. So far, I'm enjoying 2010; there have only been 11 days, but these 11 days have been good. I am ready for school to start, so thank goodness for next week. I am also ready to have a part time job: I have been looking for them and have been unsuccessful, but I feel as thought I'm truly getting close to my time, so that I can have something to do/another way to make money to go to places around the United States and so that I can stop feeling as though I am mooching off of my boyfriend. However, when I am rich (not famous), I will supply him with anything and everything he could ask for, so in due time, he will be paid back.

2010 also means, that at some point, it will be warm in Chicago again. And I know jumping ahead of myself, but I am looking forward to that, as I'm tired of the cold. As much as I love it here, I have been thinking recently on why do I put myself through this cold weather. Which I like sometimes, but also, sometimes hate. It sucks more when you don't have a hat or a new coat, which I plan on getting quite soon. So that's good.

I don't have anything else; I feel as though I half failed on my resolutions from last year, but resolutions should just continue until you make yourself better. I have one for this year though, and it is to stop worrying. We'll see if that actually works out, but I would like to at elast cut back on half of my worrying, which means that I will be worrying a lot less and being stressed a lot less. So 2010, I welcome you with open arms and so far, I love you.
