Ah, finally finished unpacking. As much fun as I had on my cruise this week, I'm happy it's over and I no longer have to share a room with my mom and pay 50 cents a minute for Internet access. I'm not so happy that my iPod seems to have croaked during the flight back home - I turned it off, wasn't able to turn it back on, and now when I plugged it into my laptop to charge it, the computer isn't even recognizing that a device is attached.
I'm glad that the thread seems a bit happier today. Happy New Year to everyone (I'm saying it now in case I fall asleep before midnight). I don't know if this is a resolution exactly, but I've set a goal for myself of getting my driver's license by the time I turn 21 (still nearly a year and a half away, but I figure I should get started now). I had nowhere near enough driving experience when I took my road test 2 and a half years ago, and I was so demoralized by failing it that I haven't been behind the wheel since. I think I might also revive my resolution from 2 years ago of keeping a diary - I actually managed to do that for nearly half a year, and it really helped me deal with a lot of the stress I was going through at the time. Plus, it was fun to write something just for the joy of writing and not having to worry about being graded on it.
All of these pet pictures are so cute! It really makes me so sad that I can't have a pet.
