The New Year

Wellp, It is the new year. I suppose I should start it off right and set some sort of goals. Goals.......goals........goals.....well I suppose I could probably give this blog more attention. I've been neglecting it lately. I'm going to also going to try and spend much more time on school work. I also want to become less shy. I luckily had marching band last semester to help me make friends but I won;t anymore until the next fall. I hope to see my friends between then, too. So that's a start for the new year.

Looking back over the last year I have to ask myself: what have I learned? The answer: lots of stuff, I spent most of the time in school I better have learned something! But I have also learned many life lessons like: being myself, my family rocks, and making food takes more effort than previously expected.

What do I want to accomplish this next year? Well first and foremost (as it's been for a while) I want to finally start working again. That way I can establish some sort of permanent residence in SLC. I could actually afford somewhat nice things like ground beef, real butter and maybe a book here and there.

Ss i guess that's a start. We'll see what happens as the year unfolds. So far so good, nothing has gone wrong yet! I should probably get past the second day, though. wellp, here we go.
