| I'm a little stressed about leaving

| 
I really want this book.
New Years Eve - Natasha calls and we put together an impromptu party with kaitlin and her church friends, vivian, mary, jenn, stephen, alan, whitney, kristen, kevin pease, delaura, deidre, and will. it was incredibly drunk because we had like 10 people... and 6 bottles of champagne, 2 30-packs of beer, a handle of vodka, a handle of rum, and a bottle of goldshlagger. and you should see the dent that we put into it all. oh my goodness. at one point, i spent like 20 minutes on the phone with one of delaura's lovers trying to give him directions to where we were. he and his four friends drive around in circles for a long time and finally make it. andonly stay for 2 min. ha! haha afterwards, when people were going to sleep, vivian and i went to her place to sleep. and we had a whole separate little adventure. we got me a cardtable. then we picked up a stranger. haha adn brought him to vivian's place and then we threw a pumpkin off the fire-escape with him. it was sort of ridiculous.
New Years Day - a fairly epic hangover. Vivian, Mary and I got brunch and on the way back to the apt., I was like... we should take the 51! Haha but we zoned out, missed our stop and had to walk extra. And then at the apt., we laid down for about an hour. Yay productivity.
Resolutions
1.) Have an awesome and full and safe experience in S. Africa
2.) Get straight A's - gotta aim high
3.) Keep my back straight. My posture is pathetic.
4.) Write regularly.
And with this, we embark on 2008! yayyyyy

| I'm watching Gone With the Wind alternating with a History Channel special about biblical omissions. Very much a return to my thirteen year old self.
I have probably read Gone With the Wind about a hundred times. Well... about twenty times. And I've seen it about ten times. That is a lot of time spent on a story instilled in racism and foolishness, but there is something very charming about the love story of Scarlett O'Hara.
"Why, my dear, must you make me say things that will hurt you?"
looooove it
She is a love story. I've contemplated using Scarlett as a middle name, but that really depends on how many daughters I end up having. The first one is getting Trishna as her middle name. Okay, so Trishna is leaving for Malaysia right now. Like literally right now. Her flight is for 12 am. And then, after she comes back, she is leaving again on the 15th for Italy. I'm leaving for Cape Town on the 27th. And we will be parted for at least six months. We've never experienced serious separation since we became bff's when we were thirteen. Sad.
This semester has been .... long and although, rather dismal, a generally positive experience.
102, 142, 269e, 4a, and 125e. 18 units. KGD (although I wasn't the best at it). Gelato. SMing (the unforgettable josemine). And of course the lovely lab.
I have learned what really matters - my family and my goals - and who I really love and who really loves me. I don't know we would have done without the people that stepped in and demonstrated altruism at it's best. It was only six weeks, but it felt like forever. All our family friends... and my calling Trishna from the John Muir parking lot. Voicemails and texts and even facebook messages. Lunches with Kaitlyn and ... and Trishna and Iulia... and that 8 am favor from Jashy and Gary calling me desperately to wake me up... and Jon offering niceness even before he knew me... and ... and...
I am one lucky lucky girl. It's still a long road, but for the first time ever, I think I'll be okay in life.
He's almost there. Everything already feels normal... I'm tempted to start acting bratty again, but I know better.
Leaving for Cape Town in just thirty-five days.
I had a carthatic cry after finals. The best kind.
Winter break plans: working at lab/gelato/dad's office.
A busy bee is a happy one. Or something like that.
Next entry: resolutions?
