Retrospectrocity

So. The year has ended. Its kinda a crazy thing to think about, the passage of time. I mean no matter how hard one tries, or doesn't for that matter, you can always count on the fact that the sun is coming up tomorrow. And tomorrow it will be January 1st 2008. It blows me away to type that. I don't really know why, I mean I am only 22, (23 in 2 weeks) but to me 2003 seems like it was last year. Where have the last 5 years of my life gone? I mean I can account for 2 of them pretty accurately, I was in Mexico doin that gig. But it seems like everything else has just flown by. Enough of me feeling old before my time. Its just that the years keep goin by faster.
Christmas came and went. It wasn't really an extraordinary Christmas in any way, and I am sad to say that I didn't really take advantage of my Christmas spirit like I had wanted to. There's always Navidad Dos mil ocho! Other than that my semester break has been just that, a break. I can honestly say that I have become the laziest person I know. While I'm not too keen on admitting that to the 6 or so of you who happen to read this, but for these few weeks, I feel like I earned it. I mean when else do I have a chance to do whatever I want for as long as I want to do it. Honestly, the feeling of having nothing to do in an entire day is very liberating. So I am living it up. However this will all come crashing down on January 7th when my world is brought back into focus and I have to do school and work again. Meh.. Such is life.
Frankly speaking, I am happy to hae 2007 over with. I can say that it was one of the most difficult years of my life, and it will be remembered, sometimes for what I did and the fun that I had, and sometimes for the lessons that I learned. Hopefully these lessons will not require re-learning. However, sometimes I am slow to apply what I learn. I am grateful now for what happened, and I think it has made me a wiser person. But looking forward to 2008 is what this blog is all about. I needed to do some retrospection, and it always seems like my mind works best when it is busy doing something else. Enter the blog. but seriously, 2008 is going to be a good year, I can just feel it in my bones. I am in my last semester-ish of LDS Business College, and that is liberating, I will be happy to put more than just a High School diploma on my resumes, although a AS in General Studies isnt exactly a highly regarded accomplishment. but I look forward to moving on to a new phase of my life. I will also celebrate 5 years of graduation in this year. Crazy to think that it has already been that long. but life goes on. I am just anxious to take control of my life and do things the way I want to do them, and I have set lots of goals for myself this year. I will not list them here because honestly, they are kind of personal and I will tell the people who I want to know. But there will be many more wonderful blogs this year, and I promise that it will be a year of spectacle for all!
