Probably one of the best new years I've ever had.  Even though I didn't do much, I spent some time with my family.  And even got to sit down and had tea with the local buddhist monk.  It was all really cool.  I enjoyed every minute of it.  And then I realized how much time has past in my life, and it has just flown by.  I guess I'm at a point that I've started to realize the meaning of setting goals.  It's about doing stuff you want to do, or challenge yourself.  And given the limited time I have in my life, it feels right to set some goals.  Even though you can't always follow through with all of them, however at least they're something to strive for.  They give you a sense of direction in this crazy universe.  Now I'm going to kick back, enjoy my time and strive for these:<br \/><br \/>1.  Graduate college<br \/>2.  Learn how to swim<br \/>3.  Spend sometime overseas<br \/>3.  Save money...<br \/>4.  to move out of Lincoln<br \/>5.

I'm a little apprehensive but its worth the risk and and that would save us some money.  If it this works out, I think it maybe something I'll have to get into.  Anyways I have a new years resolution for myself.  I call it Project Mode, it's the culmination of my natural knack for life and creativity.  So far the results have been positive, but I'm going to have throttle back on Project Mode because I've started to slack off on my studies to focus on Project Mode.  If I didn't have classes to worry about Project Mode would be in full force.

I can't wait till this shit gets warmer.<br \/><br \/>I've been really getting into psychology lately, I don't know why...something about the human mind interests me.
