Another year is about to end, and it's had its usual ups and downs. I've made more new friends than in any other year, most of who I still see every day on campus, and will see again this upcoming semester. I've now had my car for one year, as of December 23. I still love it, and so does everyone else. I didn't get anything half as nice this time around, but it doesn't matter because I still got to spend it with the ones I love the most. Haven't I told you that I just completed my first semester of college? After the next semester ends in May, I will have accumulated 30 of the required 69 credits, and that doesn't include the 1 credit of Academics that I took last year. Already, I'm looking into another summer of English and math courses, as well as Communications. By then, I will have 39 credits. Oh, how they add up...If there is one thing that I want more than anything else in 2008, it would have to be a relationship with a female. I would estimate that at least half of my friends are in relationships that they enjoy most, and I'm waiting for my time to come. I will admit that I never liked Valentine's Day because I felt the holiday was too fake, and I was always alone on that day. But the one excuse I have used the most is that my late grandmother was born on February 14, and every year, I make sure to honor her birthday. She died before Christmas in 1995, but I still remember her birthday, because to me, it's always been more important than Valentine's Day. I am sort of the Valentine's Grinch with a cold heart on the occasion. Whenever I see stuffed bears, boxes of chocolate and anything shaped like a heart, I just want to get away from the scene, but I will have to try a totally different approach next time around, since this is the closest that I've ever been to actually having a relationship. Time will tell...
