Semester Wrap-up

It seems appropriate to provide a wrap-up of what was before I start recording the happenings of 2012. How can the year the world ends be appreciated if it isn't recorded properly? Seeing as how the beginning of the year and summer were recorded in Year Twenty, I'll just focus on what has happened this past semester. 

It was a semester full of rainbows and puppies, a semester where everyone was happy and got along perfectly, and, most importantly, no one got sick. 

...that didn't happen. Though thankfully, I am a lot closer to my sisters than I was last year. I depend on them for a lot of things: family, fun, love, shenanigans, and comfort when I'm crying. I love living with Joscelyn though I'm not so sure if she has enjoyed her living situation as much as I do. Granted, the number of times Jos has walked into my room uninvited to find me in tears are numerous. 

The people I am close to are not the same as they were over the summer or even last year. My little has taken my life by storm and is now one of the people who knows most about me. The people that endure my hardships with me, or that deal with my tears the most, are Heather and Jos. I'm closer to some of my guy friends, made some new pretty great ones, and lost one I was really close to. I still keep in contact with Caitlin and Lindsey, two people I know will do anything with and for me. And, overall I'm pretty okay with what has changed and what has stayed the same. Friends come and go, and I'm pretty happy with the people that are in my life today.

I haven't focused academically as much as I should have this semester which I'm not so pleased about. I'm hoping that despite the threat that all my education will be a waste (because where have you been, the world is ending) I will be able to have an academic comeback in 2012. However, regardless if my grades reflect it as well as I would like them too, I feel like I have learned better how to think and learned a lot about how to handle some of the more crisis like aspects of life. 

Driving: by the end of today I will have logged 1,973 miles this semester not including inner city driving. A total of 1 day and 15 hours on the road. Those numbers are just from the beginning of school and not counting the summer trips I went on...  I guess I can't quite stay in one place for very long.

I wonder where I will go next.
