Well, I had a wonderful winter break. I’ll just touch on the highlights. Leann and I had some morbid fun with my mom’s Christmas village. Don’t worry too much about it, Superman saved them all in the end, he was just getting ready to change in the village’s one and only telephone booth when we stopped... well, almost everybody.... My little sister got a PS2 and a bunch of games for it, Kingdom Hearts is my personal favorite. Oh, and you’ll never guess what I got for Christmas! What’s that? A digital camera? How in the world did you figure that one out? Although the best part of Christmas break was being home with the family and not having any school work to do! Currently I have some Japanese hiragana that I need to start memorizing for Thursday. I think that my Japanese class is going to be bitter sweet, I love the language, but all that memorization! Good thing I’m good at memorization. Too bad I’m not so good at paying attention to details in my environment. Heh, I don’t even want to think about where I’d be if I wasn’t persistent and eventually manage to blunder into the right spot. Lets just say I made a very dumb error my second day of classes and ended up 15 minuets late for class, a class which was in the right place after all... I feel really blessed that I don’t have a lot of things to worry about. The only real problem, I don’t count school work and tuition as real big problems at the moment– a notion which will change in due time, is that I think one of my friends from High School might be border line anorexic. I’m hoping that this ideal body weight site that I’m having Kayley send to her will knock some sense into her. If not, there are places that can help her, and summer for road tripping with friends, if you catch my drift. Not too much else is going on. Though I keep feeling like I’m on the brink of some great change, perhaps the old pheonix is about to rise to new heights. This year I’ve resolved to increase my level of confidence and to change my attitude so that whatever comes at me, I will be able to come out on top emotionally. ~Amyelk Out
