A new year full of new things. I'm excited. I think. Well, I am. It's helped to think positively about this year since it started off incredibly. I was blessed to spend as much time with Ryan as I did and meet a side of his family that I'd never met before. I took my first flight (I know, I'm 20 and I had never flown before), saw real snow (not the texas kind), stood on top of a mountain and ski on the same one too. It was wonderful. (I'll post pics later today) I want to do it all over again but somewhere else. Like Colorado or somewhere tropical. I would love to travel and take pictures and at the end of the day drink tea as I watch the sunset. I wouldnt want to do any of those things alone though. That would be a dream of mine come true. I know it's possible to have that dream come true which is even more exciting.
Slowly but surely I'm realizing my vote is important. It's an election year, which I dont enjoy, so that means it's time to vote. I've looked into Obama, Huckabee, and Ron Paul. Random funny note - I was talking to my mom a little bit about the elections and I metioned Obama and all she had to say was "you know what his real first name is right?" and I told her "yes, it's osama and you cant hold that against him becasue he really had no say in choosing his own name." That ended the conversation rather quickly.
I think its ridiculous how people can zone in on something so little like that to make people alter their opinion on the candidates. I've decided that I'm not going to tell anyone on who I vote for. Too much controversy comes out of it.
I head back to school in about a week. I'm ready. I love being in San Marcos. I love being in college. I love the people that I am surrounded by when I'm down there. I'm not sure about the summer though. I would love to stay down there and take summer classes but I need to see if I can afford it. I'm crossing my fingers and praying that I can. I'm ready to start a life of my own and I think a necessity for that is to have my own place.
