I'm back in Austin! It was a fascinating sociological study of Frisco... such a planned-out city! Frisco and Plano all have parallel and perpendicular roads. Shops are all stuck together in insanely large clumps. Nothing is really out of the ordinary. This made it much more convenient and easy to navigate about, but to be honest, I prefer Austin (or South Austin, anyway) in terms of its irregularities :). I've been practicing my driving more and have concluded it's rather blah. I'd rather walk. Or have Evey drive me around, mwuahha- she's getting her liscence in February, which will be cool (she can come visit more often!).

I'm quite excited about getting back to Dobie, back into routine, seeing my friends, seeing Karen, textbooks, walking... I do enjoy being at home, but like Peasley stated a few weeks ago, it's just upside-down. I was upset upon my return from Julia's spartanly-beautiful home that my room is, conparatively, a mess. Thus, I'm going to totally clean it out. Yes, I know, I tend to say that and not do it, but seriously, I WILL! I will! I would like to take everything down from the walls and redo that, too, with less, more sophisticated design. I've got ideas. I wish I could paint the walls. But I'll work around that. I'm thinking it would be cool to tack up some large pieces of fabric! But then I'd have to move the furniture... so... that may take some convincing and smiles for dad. But I do want to clean. I love cleaning.

Katie, I know I should be calling you. I will as soon as I feel alive, haha... I'm not quite there yet. And I'm in cleaning mode. And the like. And yep. Tomorrow's Evey's winter dance recital at Bowie, so I plan to go... and sometime this week I'll probably hang out there for a day, give Ms. Cook a hand with yearbook, hang out with Hebert, and so forth and so forth. :) Friday I have to go to campus for a mandatory orientation session for the comm school, which I am finally officially a member of. Yay! Now I'm a legitimate double-major.

New Year's resolutions are to learn to say no, try to be less sensitive and overanalyzing, let go of high schoolers who STILL drive me insane- and the million and one comments that go along with that that the club O gang are tired of :), and be a more focused, dilligent student (basically, back to H.S. for that one). SO, yes. I do plan on doing them. And continuing to improve my posture, balance, etc... and to sew a pair of ballet flat slippers, because I found a tutorial on how to do so! Isn't that super?! I do think so, yes.

And so, in conclusion to that rambling- the whole "self restructuring" thing is moving along well. Evey tells me my next steps are getting my ears repierced... and then the big one.... contacts. *gulps* I am most certainly not there yet, though. Might not ever be. It's kind of fun being blind. Oh, blah, maybe in a few years. Until then, I'll stick with the horn-rims.

Good day to you all! :)
