Today is the second to last day of my between-semester vacation. Today, Grandma and I went to go get our hair done at the salon auntie works at. I got my hair dyed brown again- my hair fades fast- and now have china doll bangs! Oh, man... I just love them. I am not a vain person or someone who likes to look in the mirror... but frankly,

MY HAIR LOOKS SO FREAKING AWESOME I CAN'T HELP BUT STARE AT MY BANGS.

BAM!

Happy New Year

Well... winter break is winding to a close and I have done -almost- absolutely nothing that I was supposed to. Tomorrow is going to be a Saturday full of procrastinated homework and an hourly cursing of my foolishness. Right now, I am inexplicably sick with a heinous cold (I have been sick 3 separate times this break). We just got back from visiting the fam out of town and, what can I say? You guys are the greatest. I am truly blessed with such an amazing family. To those who weren't there for Christmas: I am out to get you, and I don't care how I do it (nightmares, for instance, are very likely). But in all seriousness, this year I have determined to fully appreciate the blessings that I have been given, and ignore (almost completely) the things that I do not have.

So, now, who is up for a little New Years Resolution sharing? I'LL GO FIRST! :D

-learn and memorize Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor

-eat chocolate only twice a month

-exercise every. day.

-get straight "A"s

-meditate for 30 minutes every day (I am convinced this is necessary to my maintain- or regain- my sanity)

-be patient- with everyone, including myself

-look for the silver lining in every situation

-be content with what I have

Okay. I give up already. Just kidding! That would be bad. But I will try to remember and live my goals- even if I have to do it one little baby step at a time.

Happy New Years to my dear family and friends!
