The Fifth Marauder

mrssnuffles

i know it's a bit late, but i have been wanting to make a special year-ender entry but was forced to postpone it because as far as i am concerned, 2006 began when i submitted the copar paper last friday. so anyway here it is:

2005 i guess was a good year. way better than the chaotic 2004 that is. i was more mature, more level-headed. i think i shed less tears, which is actually a good thing. i learned a lot of things, me a lot of new friends, which made my stay in olivarez a bit more bearable. i am still nowhere close to loving bs nursing nor the school, but i have actually learned to live with it and deal without throwing a hissy fit and crying every other day. i have been less pikon, and learned to control the green-eyed monster. i have learned loads about married life (without being married myself of course) and its ups and downs. i have learned to love coleslaw and that when one prolongs the hard inevitable, it gets harder. my relationship with my mom and dad has greatly improved. my relationship with god has improved as well, thanks to sfc. all in all, i think i was a better person than last year. not really the most likely one to be canonized as a saint in vatican, but way better than i was before. a year-ender entry wouldn't be complete without new years' resolutions so here are mine:

-read more books. or rather read books that are beyond the genre that i usually read (i read a grand total of 33 books last year, not counting the ones i usually read and reread many times)
-daydream less and work more
-stop smoking (2 days without lighting up and counting!)
-exercise everyday (the slam man is begging to be punched!!)
-minimize rice, sugar, and bread intake
-smile a lot and frown less
-be a little more patient
-go to the dentist every month. these braces have got to go!!
-read in his steps and purpose-driven life every day
-read more nursing books
-buy a medical dictionary and an ordinary one
-do my homework as soon as possible instead of waiting at the last minute
-study harder rather than depending on my seatmates for answers during exams. eventhough i am tempted to continue because i have been getting good grades
-weed out songs i hardly listen to
-lessen the use of cuss words

 

anyway, cheti called me last wednesday, to tell me that he is leaving next month for the states. although he did tell me that he's coming back ater a few months, i can't help but feel sad. with everyone i went to school with graduating and having jobs, i can't help but feel a wee bit envious. i sometimes feel like everyone has gone on to the next step in erik erikson's psychosocial stages (hehehe) while i am still stuck in the adolescent stage. looking on the bright side though, i love shopping for school supplies. hehe.
