First Entry o' 2005

Well, I made it back from West Virginia alive, even after the near 12 hour drive from there back to Madison. I could go over all the details of x-mas break, but really that would be boring. It was the lowest stress christmas ever, and it was absolutely wonderful. My distinct status switch from engaged (last year) to disengaged (this year) was only mentioned once, and not even directly. For that I am eternally thankful. Furthermore, I recieved so many wonderful things this year that weren't necessarily monetary in value. Are you ready for my entry to continue to be boring in its happiness?

New Year's Eve was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I had the best and most social time, and tried out a punch recipe that involved 7-up and frozen juice and rasberry sherbet, and a huge amount of vodka. I have decided to call it "Fantastic Voyage" for lo you could not tast the alcohol and so indeed you were transported somewhere fantastic--and I can't resist a sci-fi reference with some microbiology in it. My friends and I had a really grand evening, although I didn't drink enough water before going to bed, and just watching the Tournament of Roses Parade the next morning made me ill. I haven't been THAT hungover in a long time, So that is how I start 2004.

Do I have any predictions or resolutions for 2004? Hell no. If I've learned anything, it is that you have no idea where life is taking you too far down the road ahead. I can expect that life might stay boring for a little while, because I am perhaps the happiest in my life that I have ever been. Seriously. It probably means disaster/drama is up ahead soon enough, but whatever. But yeah, I love my program, I love my lab, I love where I live, I love my friends, and I have a dreamy boy to hang out with, and a family that loves me, I am still relatively cute, and I have no student loans. I just have to try not to fuck any of these things up too much.

I guess that's about as close to a resolution as I'm going to get.
