New year

Happy New Year! I can't believe it is actually 2009. It was a very chill celebration for me bringing in the New Year with family. Gourmet food, fun company, games, and little surprises like gelato today (Yum!). Here's wishing everyone a fabulous 2009!

I realize I will only be 23 this year, but I am having conflicting feelings about my age. On one hand, I feel like my life is already starting to get away from me. I sometimes imagine myself still living by myself in an apartment with perhaps a fish, school stuff taking up half of my apartment at the age of 40. On the other hand, I do not feel old enough to be a teacher. It still feels a little weird telling people that is my profession now. I hope this is a common thing to go through at this stage in my life.

On a separate note, I have gone through some old journals and notebooks from back in the day during this break. I found some poems that I actually wrote at different points in my life and I am thinking about posting one or two every so often. They are by no means great writing or even good writing, but that is how I usually dealt with strong emotions. Some of them are depressing and some of them are sweet, but I just figured I'd give you a warning before posting any of them. :)

Well I guess I am the special one because I got a preview of a poem and it was great! I do think you should share them with everyone.
