So this is the new year?

So this is the new year.
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions
The New Year  by Death Cab for Cutie
So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

There'd be no distance that could hold us back [x2]

So this is the new year [x4]

Basically that song describes every new year. Except last year was way different from what I expected, but that's good when it happens right...? I think I will go over some of the events of last year for details please read blog or ask...:

It's the End of a year...?

So, here we are in December as this year comes to a close. Am I excited? Of course I am! School is good, and overall I can't complain too much about life. There are those little things that bug the crud out of me, but I just get over them and move on with my life. I only have a few more things to get done this week & basically I have to get them done by tomorrow & then I can sort of relax... of course then it's the matter of doing luandry, packing, and cleaning. But I think I can get all that done & be basically happy! Life is grand! I can't believe how much this year has flown by, and how much has happened this past year. First, in January I decided I was going to stay in Rexburg. Weird! Then in February one of my best friends left on his mission. Then, in March my grandpa passed away, and then april I started a new year of school... over the summer I got on fast grad, and now look at me... I have a year left in school... crazy! This next year will be interesting! :D Well, it's almost time for me to go to class... so, ta ta for now!

A Brand New Thought

So, after talking to several people over the past week including my mother about some problems I've been having with others... I came up with a thought I'm really going to try...

NOYB

When wanting to gossip about someone try talking to them about it first to see if it's okay to say what you are wanting to say! ;)

Now, you're probably wondering why I am putting this up... Well, it has recently come to my knowledge how much I'm being talked about behind my back. I'm sitting here wondering if I EVER gave permission to others to talk about me, but then I realize that NO because it's MY life I haven't. I truly am starting to see how bad gossiping is. I have been hurt by it so much over the past few weeks, and I'm not even sure if I'm the one gossipping, but I know I've been gossipped about. Sometimes... even good Gossip can be BAD!!!! See, a year ago I almost dated this guy... he's a really amazing friend of mine and everything, but I feel like it is mine or his place to tell people about how we almosted dated. NOT ANYONE ELSE. Well, someone has been going around talking about me & this guy saying that I still like him, and I thought to myself... isn't that my decision to make? So, last night when going to bed I decided that Gossipping about others is NEVER good... So, I'm going to try from here on out to not gossip about others... not do the "he said, she said" junk... it seriously hurts people & it's not fair! What goes on in another person's life is their business... NOT YOURS... unless they are married to you... lol. Or unless you are really worried about that person, but then you should probably take that to the Lord and have him help you help them... but don't be going to others talking about it. Too many people end up hurt that way, and honestly... I'm sick of being hurt! Anyway, there's my little thought... and hope you enjoyed it! :D

It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life for me!!!!!

I would like to start this off by that song...

Because truly when it all comes down to things I am feeling good! 

Maybe I should explain just a tad. I have this overwhelming feeling that I can't explain, but I kept dwelling on it. Recently I decided that I truly do have major feelings for my best friend in France, BUT I will date others while he is gone... I do not however, want to be "tied down" when he gets home. 

Actually for now, I think that's all I want to say! So... tata!

What's happening?

Well, last week I went on a date with my new friend, Robert Christensen. He is Brian Christensen's brother! Pretty crazy! I had loads of fun on this date. It was AWESOME! We were able to really get to know each other and build a pretty good friendship. The next night I had a birthday party for Brian... he was turning 23 the next day. He's been such a good friend to me & it was the one way I knew I could pay him back. Well, so much has been going on in my life & I guess I'm just at a point where it's really important that I figure out what is what. It may take me some time, but I guess that's the point. Right now, I wish there was so much I could do for Brian, but I can't. I guess there comes a time in everyone's life where you just have to start figuring things out for yourself. That's all for now. Until next time... tata
