2008

So it's a new year and I am not making any resolutions. I never kept them in the past and don't want to be disappointed when I don't accomplish them. Last year was rough, personally and financially. I hope, not resolute, to be more frugal this year and do things that bring happiness in my life. It seems that my art class didn't go well. I think I am more of a free lance artist rather than a student. I am going to stick to random drawing and silly crafts.

School is going well. I got a "B" in my Statistics class and have signed up for speech this semester.

I do have to make a huge life decision that could possibly land me in California. It's just so hard to fathom leaving everyone and everything I've ever known behind. I think if I was going with someone I knew it would make it easier. It would be nice to be closer to my mom but I am scared about starting over with friends and leaving most of my family behind. Most of my friends here I have known 10+ years and the ones I've met recently are great! All of it is just scary. I don't know if I can actually go through with it.

Vegas in Christmas was a blast! However, 5 days is way too long to be there. We stayed at the Golden Nugget (picture above) in old part of Vegas and in the back of the Hotel is a small strip with a digital canopy covering the street. Every top of the hour is a show on the canopy and everyone just stops in their tracks to see it. The new part of Vegas is very glitzy and expensive. The hotels are gorgeous and each one has a unique look. The fountain shows in front of some of the hotels are very cool. My family and I drew names and bought cheezy souvenirs for our secret santa and let me tell ya there were some pretty interesting gifts.

So, I guess I just keep plugging away at school and look forward to some possible cool vacations this year...Italy may be one of them.
