People are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous...

I'm updating for the sake of updating. Nobody has come to expect anything exciting out of my blogs. Just rants of how angsty I've been as of late, but my blog just looked so lonely, sitting there without an update.

Oh... it's 2006. Is this going to be my year? The year I reach out to humanity? The year I hold my head up high and have some self-respect? The year people say, "Look at her go..."? The year I get tired of running from everything and am able to plant some damn roots? Or is it going to be another year to reflect upon and think, "Damn, how did I waste 365 days? Did I accomplish anything?" Maybe it'll be the year I begin to take responsibility or the year I learn from mistakes. Maybe it'll be the year I stop dragging my feet and think seriously about the future.

Speaking of the future, I've been doing research into grad schools lately. I'd love to get a masters in graphic design and/or Art History/Museology. My dreamjob is shaping up to be some kind of graphic designer or PR correspondent for an Art Gallery. That'd be HOT. (I need a new vocabulary.)

I'm heading back to Abingdon on Saturday. I feel guilty for looking forward to going back, but I am excited for a new start. It's amazing how, as an undergrad, I get a fresh new start every 6 months. Although, this semester seems like a mirror of last. I'm taking Art History (which I'm THRILLED about!!) and Spanish, just like last semester. Along with it, I'm taking Drawing (gag) and Mediated Consumption (which will fulfil my Ethical requirement). Oh... and let's not forget Ballroom Dancing... Kristen seriously owes me for agreeing to take it with her.

I got an e-mail from Deni today asking for my help with PR for Learning Landscapes. I'm really excited about it, because I've missed working with it and I severely miss service work. It's such great therapy... it's that "helpers high", I think.

Have I mentioned lately how much I HATE winter. It gets dark so early and I hate the layers upon layers of clothing.

Things seem so stale in my life lately. It's just this recycling of old naivetes and resurgance of neediness. I can't shake this need to run that I've always had. I've always turned my back and ran away from things that didn't look so appealing anymore.

Oh.. and this just in.. President Morris was just named Sec. of Education for VA. Good news... he's leaving Emory... :) Wait.. is that treason? Oh well... it's blue skies for E&H (unless we get someone worse.) That deserves a WOOT. Steve Fisher for President

That's all for tonight.
