So where do I begin, this year has been anything but good, and when I say this I dont mean I was depressed or anything, I had my fair share of goodtimes, but thats all they were. To those of you who dont know, Spring '07 i changed my major from Biochem to Psych (B.S.). I almost lost an important friend because of stupid petty differences. In May, I was in my very first car accident, nothing to serious, but my car needed a new front bumper. In June, I got a job at Staples, at where I still currently work. I also got my nose pierced in June. School started off great except for the whole room switch thing, but i had the car, i was working on the weekends, and there was a possible relationship in my future. I fianally switched rooms, and i love my room mate and suite mates, they're awesome girls and i feel like i've made three new best friends. Things were going ok until about november. I found out one of my suitemates was leaving for main campus after christmas. and barely six months after my first accident, and i had found myself in another. this time was a little worse, new bumper, grill, radiator, and hood. Driven maybe 4 times since the accident. I'm just tired of things going wrong, some one who will remain un-named thinks i was being unrealistic by saying i was never going to drive again, but im very slowly believing she was right, and she knows how much i dont like admitting it. Obviously the possible relationship didnt work out...im thinking that it was for the best. But 2007 is fianally over and i want to move on with my life. I want to better myself, and this is not just one of those resolutions that nobody ever keeps. This is the real thing, I have wonderful friends who i love, a family who loves me even though i sometimes question it, but there are somethings that i want that I'm not always sure i can get or are meant to have. I want things to start going write, i feel as though i have hit rock bottom and that things can only get better. Some would say things can only get worse, and I'm sure thats true but i wanna be positive about 2008. I want to find someone I care about, who cares about me too, I want to get better grades so I'm not such a dissappointment to my parents, I want to be happy with my life even if it's only for a moment or two.

So after saying all that, here are my resolutions for the year....

- Straight A's for at least Spring '08 semester

- Good grades for the rest of my college career

- Get in shape

- Be a better person

So on that note, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, i hope it is a good one.

<3 Charlene

.....Dissapointment to your parents? YOU'RE GOING TO FRICKIN COLLEGE!! Tell them, if they are infact displeased to take a road trip to Missouri so they can see what most kids around here do with their lives..

.....It's not unrealistic to never drive again. I know alot of people who refuse to. I got in my first accident when I was 16, I rear ended someone in a stop light so softly that not even a mark from the rubber around my licence plate could be found on their bumper cover. The woman went nuts, sued the insurance company, then me, then my parents. Made life interesting for a while and I didn't drive again until I was 18. Since your on campus, I'd be willing to bet that everything that you need is within a driving distance anyway. After you graduate, their's public transit in every major city. If you're in a small town, again, everything's a walking distance away. :) Their's no shame in not wanting to drive. I can't cook, so I stay out of the kitchen, haha.

.....Props for bettering yourself!!
