(new song of the day feature on my blog instead of harassing you with a player that starts by itself. if you like it buy the album and support. kiss kiss)
happy new year.
my hair is short.
i'm officially starting into the english teaching program. i'm only now starting to realize i might actually have to get up in front of people and teach something/speak coherently/not look like a hobo. sort of making me nervous.
i'll graduate eventually. graduation is something i've become vaguely more aware of this last winter break. for some reason i've reached the age where people ask me a lot about when i'm going to be finished with school or if i'm going to get married/"have you ever thought about going on a misson?" i'm not sure when i reached this point. but i have. 22. go figure.
i only have one solid new years resolution. not shared here because i'm mysterious. the rest are pretty vague ideas that i got scared into when i was home for two weeks when i was being fed wonderful food and i actually started to miss hot 'n ready pizza. any diet where my comfort foods have deteriorated to spongebob macaroni and five dollar pizza is one that probably needs re-examining. but again, that's a vague one. others include maybe buying a yoga dvd or finding a way to like running, limit my internet stalking, learning how to quilt though i have no talent in crafting things etc. etc.
2010. woo.
"....as a new year starts and we try to benefit from a proper view of what has gone before, I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone, nor to yearn vainly for yesterday however good those yesterdays may have been. The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we experienced, then we look ahead, we remember that faith is always pointed toward the future -- faith always has to do with blessings and truths and events that will yet be efficacious in our lives.

Looooooooooooove that quote by Elder Holland! He has always been one of my favorites. If we can have favorite apostles. Which we can. Because I do.
You know what's ironic? I'm sitting here updating my blog and wanted some music to listen to. So, I think to myself, "I'll just open a new window with Al's blog because I like the music that plays on hers."...only to find you got rid of your playlist. Ha! Miss ya, Al.
