i have been cleaning out my life, trying to get everything back in order before classes start again. i'm really close to finishing--my room is clean, my sheets and pillowcases are fresh out of the dryer, and the papers that have been littering my desk and floor are (almost) all filed away.
i don't think i'll go out tonight, even though there are currently three parties in progress to which i've been invited--but for some reason, i can't convince myself that it will be much fun to start the year drunk and then spend the rest of the day sleeping, or worse--hungover and awake. last year i spent the last half hour of 2009 and the first half hour of 2010 doing yoga and listening to jazz, and it was splendid, in a very nerdy-socially-awkward julie way. this year i think i'll get out my paints and work on the canvas that has been sitting behind my mirror for months (although, don't stress about my newly acquired antisocial tendencies--i'll be sure to join in with my roommates when they start making a commotion around midnight).
before i go, my new year's resolutions:
1) train for and run the 2011 portland marathon
2) kick my nail-biting habit
3) make a confident college/university transfer decision for fall 2011
i love you, anna and sue and vika, and tomi--if you're out there and reading. be safe tonight.
happy new year--xoxo, j.
good luck with your resolutions. we were all safe. we spent it sober, unless coffee counts, at dennys. happy new year love. <3
