welcome 2006

another year. speechlessness ensues. I feel change coming on. I'm not sure why. I guess i'm feeling motivated again, and when i actually feel a wave of motivation creeping up it leads to good things. Sometimes anyways. I feel like i'm getting better at saving money and paying things off (even though i still feel broke all the time), and I'm getting excited to go to grad school again. I hit a pseudo lull about mid-year and was seriously considering just getting some high-falootin pharmaceutical job making lots of moola. Moola would be nice, but i like university life. Vacations and colleagues and only as much pressure as you want to put on yourself (most of the time anyways). I have to say moving to New Haven was probably the best decision of 2005. I learned to live away from my family and friends, but not too far. I learned living away isn't so bad, and it makes visiting the 'ol "hometown" a lot of fun. I learned that trying out new places is a good thing, and that gives me so much more confidence in applying to schools in places like Oregon and Washington State. I'd really like to go someplace that would help build Jake's career, and not just mine...and going someplace that is crazy outdoorsy is the best way to do that (he could instruct, or take outdoor courses, or scope out a bike shop location). It's hard to find the best program for me, but the best location for both of us...but i'm gonna try really hard.
I got to see all my friends over vacation, and that was the best. I didn't get to see them for long amounts of time, but just seeing them was refreshing. I'm like a rechargeable battery. 2006, here I come.
