ruWell, it's the New Year. Huzzah!
I hope it'll be a good one. This year's had it's ups and downs, just like any other one. Good things included learning a ton about plant systematics, watching my cousin get married, going to Disney, getting good grades in my classes, one of my profs liking my papers so much he asked me to use them for next semester's class, and getting to act a little again. Bad things included getting my first 'C' on a paper ever, breaking my "All A's" streak, and the biting incident. I don't know that I'll necessarily make any resolutions, since I don't necessarily know I'll be able to keep them or not. But I can make some predictions. I predict that I'll finish school, and maybe hopefully find someplace to work until I've got money saved up for grad school, and I'll do my senior project, and maybe learn some yoga. What else'll happen? I have no idea. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
Hm. I think I may be somewhat out of it right now. I don't think I'm making much sense.
I don't think I had very much of an eventful transition into the New Year. We were at my aunt's place all evening, and by the time we got back home, we had about two minutes to go before the ball dropped. So we watched that, did our obligatory 'yay!'-ing, and then I promptly went and hopped in the shower. Yes, very ceremonial of me.
Yesterday marked my first trip into an ABC store. I know that's probably not the biggest deal in the world, but hey, it's something I've never done before. It's kinda like wanting to buy tobacco because you're 18. You don't necessarily want to do anything with it, but you want to at least buy it because you *can*. I don't think I'd want to drink anything there(I accompanied mum, who was buying whiskey), but I wanted to go because I *could*.
Nevertheless, I found it to be an interesting experience. Some of the liquors there are...unique. Like cinnamon schnapps with gold flakes in it. I'm still not quire sure I know how that'd work. Would you drink the gold flakes? Is there a filter? Do you pick them out? It seems rather odd to me.
But in any case, I have to admit, some of the liquor bottles are incredibly interesting and pretty. I like neat bottles. ^_^
