i am living at home and going to stony brook, which means i'm attending my third college orientation on tuesday. i have to register for classes, organize my schedule, figure out a work schedule, and buy a car. i can't wait to have a car, but it's proving to be just as challenging as i anticipated. i am the happiest i've been in probably two years, despite the fact that almost nothing is going how i'd like it to. i do, however, still have a lot of work to do.

my goals for 2010 are:
- travel somewhere - ideally this means visiting malora in london over spring break, but this is only going to happen if my finances allow it
- get in serious shape - this means changing my lifestyle... dad has promised a gym membership, which he still hasn't followed through with, but as soon as that card is in my hand its becoming part of my schedule... permanently. i want to be comfortable as myself every day and i miss feeling good after exercise.
-get involved in school and with my major. this means getting a really awesome research assistant job. hopefully that guy emails me back.
-become financially comfortable. this means organizing my money (savings, spending money, etc) and establishing a good budget while still being able to do and have things i want.
