Well...its the new year, I guess its fitting enough to do a new blog, I've been slacking off on this again. I don't know exactly why, sometimes maybe it is just hard to put things into words sometimes. Or maybe once its written you don't have it to cling to anymore, I don't know really. But it doesn't matter.
My youngest sister has been home for a few weeks, with her boyfriend from sweden who's staying with us as well. THey have less than one week here. Sometimes looking at them I feel a little lonely, sometimes I really miss having someone of my own who loves me just for me and will look at me like he looks at her. It really isn't a big deal, I guess. I've proven these past few months that I don't need a guy, but to put it bluntly; sometimes being single is awesome and wonderful. Sometimes it sucks.
Like everything in life I guess.
This holiday season I had a few melancholy moments, tearing up and crying some. This is one of the last years we'll all be together like this, it'll be harder and harder as Solveig and I get older and go on with our own lives. Solveig will be in Sweden next year, and may go back after a year back home after that. Who am I kidding, May? She will. She most definitely will. Not that anyone blames her, Sweden is a much better option than the United States these days.
After I get my bachelors degree, however long that may take, I'll be joining the Peace Corp and will be spending 27 months (over two years!) in a foreign country away from home. It's an exciting prospect, no matter how far it may be at this point. But its also a little scary.
Speaking of school, having stupid financial aid problems. Due to my immaturity and naiveness back at my first college attempt in '06 my financial aid has been suspended for the time being. We're working on appealing to that so I don't have to wait another semester to continue again. Especially now that I've got everything on track, and I'm going where I want to go. It is my own fault, I admit that and acknowledge that. I'm not going to deny that. It's just a little upsetting, now that everything was going good.
Ah well, we'll see where things go. But I'm not going to let this deter me too much. I'll achieve my dreams, however long it takes. I'm determined now.
And for fun some pictures from the end of the year:
