word of the year.

no pictures yet, as james has custody of cameron at the moment. but soon.

so i was thinking about what i wanted this year to be, and how i wanted to change. i'm not big on new year's resolutions, but i do think the new year is a great time to reflect on where i have been and where i want to go.

so this year my word is intention.

i will strive to be...

intentional in my relationships with my friends, james, and my family. i want to pursue them and care for them without seeking anything for myself. oh how rarely i use relationships solely as a way to care for the other person. i think of myself and how i can be benefited far too often.

intentional in school. i have been given this opportunity and i am going to act like i like it; put my full efforts into it. maybe i will end up enjoying it yet.

intentional in my relationship with the Lord and making Him the first priority in my life once more. if i am not moving forward with Him, then i am moving backwards, and it seems like i have been in a backslide for a while. i know He will help me to end that this year.

i have a tendency to sit back and wait for things to happen, but this year i know the Lord will enable me to act with intention, and that my life will be so much better with His purpose and will propelling me.

happy new year. i pray that this will be a year of learning, joy, and peace for all of us.

for now.

my break has been wonderful! i am waiting for my laundry to come out so i can switch it and then go to bed so i can wake up early, pack, go to a friend's wedding brunch reception [i'll report how that was later], and then go back to slo and james!

i got a new camera which i have named cameron [original, i know], and it is officially my new baby. oh how i love you cameron. pics to come. many, many.

i just got back from hume with my family which was wonderful. pics of that to come as well.

welp, that's about it for now bc i am too tired to write anything else.

happy new year [almost]!

currently.

i have bright red toenails.

i am loved.

i have no school for 3 weeks.

the weather is nice.

my family is wonderful.

life is good.

hold on.

one more time with feeling.

say it again,

breathing's just a rhythm.

last final tonight. here we go. in 4 hours i will be emotionally destroyed, tired, and sad.

and then it will be over. and i will go about my usual finals recovery process [chocolate and a long hot shower] and have put one more quarter behind me.

cal poly, i will defeat you if it is the last thing i do.

you know it's finals week when.

it's 2 pm and you are still in your pajamas.

you can't remember the last time you took a shower.

you have eaten two bars of chocolate in the past 24 hours[thank to james, who bought my east coast souvenir in the airport on his way back, and it happened to be a pack of 3 chocolate bars... he knows me too well].

what does the floor of my room look like?

all you want is a hug from your mom and her to stroke your hair while you cry.

you say goodbye to your roommate heading to her final and make sure she doesn't forget her tissues for when she starts crying halfway through.

remind again why i thought college would be fun? [just kidding, i love it. mostly.]

let me go home.

home is wherever i'm with you.

things on my mind.

traditions with best friends.

a cute boy who is currently on the east coast.

my silly brothers.

grooveshark is wonderful.

hipster music.

i can kind of french braid my hair when it is wet.

i might start taking prenatal vitamins to make my hair grow faster.

christmas shopping.

chiropractor next week again. love it.

school/finals grossness.
