It has been exactly a month since I last wrote (a public entry, at least); I guess I've been busy trying to soak up as much R&R and fun times before school starts up again this Wednesday. Maybe I'll try to recap 2009 to the best of my capabilities? Let's see...
January -- Don't exactly remember the events that happened a year ago, but I know I was totally stressed out about my loss of direction and being jobless. Along with that, came the stress of moving and finding a place.
February -- We were fortunate enough to find a decent house to rent for the time being. Though this month was kind of a sigh of relief for my family, a really good friend and her family had to stay strong after losing a loved one. My heart was once again stirred by a certain someone, only to have him "disappear" on me.
March -- I'm pretty sure I was seriously contemplating a career change and in the process of setting it all into stone. I also had to spend my birthday somewhere I absolutely didn't want to be, ha!
April -- Don't really remember anything that happened, but according to earlier entries, this month was drama-filled. Yuck! Haha!
May -- I remember registering for school around this time. I was pretty excited that I'd actually be doing something -- ANYTHING -- with my life instead of sulking around all day and feeling useless.
June -- I found out I wouldn't be able to attend summer school, which really set me back and broke me down. And again, Mr. W found his way back to me again. Sadly enough, he disappeared after I did. I don't think we'll ever be crossing paths ever again.
July -- A few of my good college friends from UCR spent the 4th of July with me and slept over at my place, where we all squeezed into my room. It was definitely good seeing them again!
August- December -- I started school and don't even remember the events that happened in-between. I was totally consumed in my school work and studying my little heart out. I happened to truly befriend a friend I had known since the 7th grade, ha! In December, I had to fight sickness for about 3 weeks (I'm actually still sick, haha). Christmas was definitely pleasant for my baby cousins, whom we all spoiled.
That was my year in a nutshell -- not much at all.
To update a little: on the 7th, my aunt gave birth to the youngest of my cousins: Cian Jacob. Cute as a button! I had to spend 2 whole days and nights babysitting my 3 and 1 year old cousins, which was totally frustrating and energy draining. With that, I am 99.999999999999% sure I never want to have kids -- EVER. I'm sure I've mentioned that some time before, but I think it's getting closer to that 100 mark, haha! Marriage is still a big question mark, but the thought of being single and free has such a nice ring to it. :)
Aside from that, I've been spending a lot of time with a few of my closest friends and have even began enjoying things I never in a million years thought I'd be interested in. New year = changes, right? I'm totally glad I'm getting to see what the world has to offer.
Now, I'm just waiting for school to start up again. I recently had my orientation for that volunteer position at Sharp. So far, life seems to be falling into place quite nicely. At times, I still wonder how different things would have been if I had went along with my original plans. Where would I be now, what would I be doing, and who would I be? I guess that's still a huge ol' question mark for the present; only time will tell. I wonder what this year holds for me...
Nights!
True
