hello two-thousand-and-nine.

Wow to think it is already 2009. Freaking crazy as hell. This year holds up so many expectations already. It is kind of scary and sad at the same time. But happy. Happy because this is truely going to be a new year full of SCARY NEW THINGS.

This is the year of senior ball, graduations, college admission letters, buying college dorm stuff, new friends, etc. Before it was midnight, I was talking to Michelle and we were awfully scared about the new year. We are not exactly ready to be thrown out in the world. But looking back now, I think we may or may not be ready but I know we can survive. Pachia and I always talk about how it is so crazy how the years have past by but I know we are excited as much as we are scared. I think the world needs to get ready for us, because we are finally coming out.

I am pretty happy because I just finished my LAST APPLICATION. ALL MY COLLEGE APPLICATIONS ARE DONE. It is a miracle. I am glad it is damn over. I've been worrying about my applications all winter break. I hope I get into somewhere. At least I have states for backup haha.

oh yes, happy 1st year anniversary of our blog. I am glad we actually kept up with this thing. It is amazing we did. I know we both do not stay committed to these types of online journal/blogging things long but I think we have tried as best as we could to be committed to this one. Even though we have been writing less and less. We used to have like 20-30 posts for a month. Now we have like five, haha. But I promise I will do more. We are just both busy and lazy. But I promise to write more because I don't want to forget anything. I want to preserve our memories in these pages. I suck at diaries so this is as close to a diary as it can be for me.

new years resolutions

1. write more in our blog, write more interesting things, more intellecutual things
2. do not get senioritis. you are almost there but you will not get that virus
3. get a license (i am sad i know, almost eighteen too)
4. make good memories with everyone, even those you are not close to because it could be the last
5. get another job (that one will be hard)
6. even though you are reluctant, grow up. cant be like peter pan forever
7. learn how to be more adult
8. accept life as it is, never be bitter
9. don't forget your optimism.

---edit---

I saw my other blog friends doing this so I will do this too. I need to see if I accomplished any of my resolutions last year.

CK's RESOLUTIONS:

1. Stop taking naps (it ruins your sleeping pattern!)
   
2. Figure out what colleges you might want to apply to
3. Drink milk
4. Stop slouching (could cause later back problems and stunt your growth even more)
5. Stop having freak-outs about school.(optional)

So I don't really drink as much milk. But I do drink some. I probably still slouch. And of course I cannot stop having freak-outs. But I think less dramatically as last year. And I have stopped taking a lot of naps during the school year because I was working and man I would be in trouble if I did not figure out what colleges I would be applying to. Good Job CK for 2008.
