as always... i look back on the year that was 2007 christmas dinner 2007... not the typical family affair with everyone sitting around the dining table, mum dad bro grandma grandpa uncle and me, eating turkey and playing games and pulling christmas crackers.. bro's off in south america, we're off in HK. so the dinner was at the restaurant at Shangri-La ... just mum dad and me. it really didn't feel like christmas dinner.~ 2007 has actually been a longer year than i remembered... mayb that's cos we're already 3 months into 2008 but still... it's really crazy reading back on something... and just seeing it so completely differently now.. i guess it's the benefit of hindsight. if i could go back one year and change things, i SO would. or if the same thing happened in 2008, i would act so differently. but times have changed, people have changed... you wouldn't go back there again so forward we go. you told me to never drink alcohol again? ... i definitely limited my drinking... and i didn't do anything stupid, anything i'd regret. anyway, i moved on from the whole med thing.. i don't really care anymore... pfft whatever, i'll find something i like.. after i finish physio. i wanna go travelling anyway. kiama was awesome, life changing, srsly great.. it brought everyone together, i felt more confident, comfortable with the 'uni crew' after .. and i had so much fun. you guys are da bomb. camping was aweomes as always.. really gotta do it more often ... and looking at the xanga posts public and private after that... they all seem to be rather troubling.. many times where i've had things haunting me, spinning circular arguments and i just wanted out. from wat i remember now, 2007 was a lot of work, it was less going out, it was more study, and more work, it was all about the work. i wonder if it was worth it. it put more than a strain on my relationships, my studies and i guess that is my life. i think somewhere along the way i matured a little... i feel less pressured by everything around me, less influenced by those around me and more willing to just take my own path... i agree i still am severely lacking in time management skills but hey, i said a 'little' hahaha.. ~~~~~~~ so what do i want from 2008? what will i change in 2008?~~~~~~~~ i spoke about change so much... then a friend gave me that extra kick to get me started.. thanks =) - im working less... and spending more time studying and hanging around with friends - i'd like to be more organised - i'd like to find a community project to involve myself in - i'd like to be part of a production - i'd like to work on my relationship and make it better! - i'd like to go to the snow in the end of sem break... and learn to snow board! - i'd like to get fitter - i'd like to run the city to surf this year - i'd like to learn to love myself and change the things i hate ~ well that's it from me, have an awesome 2008! (i do realise we're already in march.. but im goin by the uni year.. haha geez.. ahaha) |
