goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopeless dream

that's sort of how i've felt about the past 6 months. with last semester transforming into one of the most dreadful academic experiences of my life, a new relationship that was beautiful but fraught with drama and outside problems, and a summer that turned into massive depression and financial worries, this year has been what looked like a great thing at first, and turned out not to be so much so.

it wasn't all bad. meeting ben has changed my life, i got invited into the cooper suite of wonders, lindsey and i got great things done with invisible children, and i did manage to pass with a 3.7 GPA. so i guess the year of inadequacy left me with a little dignity.

but like i said, it was what i thought was a great relationship, and it didn't turn out to be so. so sorry, last-half-of-2007, i'm going to have to break it off. you weren't the year i fell in love with, you changed, and let me say that it's not me, it's YOU.

i am ready for this new half to start. i've met a new, sexier, younger year 2007, and with a new apartment, a great schedule, and a new job, i'm hoping this year will kick all the ass that the past 6 months has left untouched. maybe my new second-half-of-2007 will see last-half-of-2007 trying to talk to me and he'll tell him to leave me alone. my new year will make sure that my last year won't bother me, won't make me feel bad, and will generally forget that i was ever with it.

so long, last-half-of-2007. hope you find a nice life.

basically, i'm ready to get started.

let's do this.
