Jojo's Brand New Year!




-I've come to the conclusion that I have an addictive personality. Don't get me started on something, or else I will probably become consumed by it. My boyfriend got me the board game Settlers of Catan for my (upcoming) birthday and I haven't stopped playing it since. That's all we do...poor guy...he probably regrets it. I also just rediscovered the tv show Bones. I've been watching every episode I can find online. Or take Altoids for instance. I can finish a box of Altoids in the span of a few hours. I start eating them and I just can't stop! Needless to stay, I will be staying away from cigarettes, alcohol, and other addictive items in the future. (Not that I wouldn't already be avoiding those things.)

-SNOW!! Since my real home is in Minnesota, there has been lots of the fluffy white stuff. The rays of sunshine glowing on the fresh snow are actually quite gorgeous as well. And, boy, has it been cold! It was about -25 degrees here last night. Brrr!! But we sleep under layers of cozy blankets at night and bundle up when we go outside, so it's not terrible. And believe it or not, I actually missed the cold. Call me a Minnesotan. I also found the most gigantic icicle ever. I used it to ward off all the evil villains in our neighborhood. It is currently standing in a snowbank outside to serve as a warning to anyone else who might have devious plans of wickedness.

-Christmas and New Years were wonderful. By far the best part about being home is seeing all my family and friends. Getting my wisdom teeth out was not so wonderful. My face is still a little swollen and bruised, but not too terrible anymore. The worst part of the whole ordeal was getting an IV. The good doctor gave me laughing gas so it was a little more bearable. The second worst part was not being able to eat solid foods. My parents also made it their objective to cook all the best smelling solid foods during the time I couldn't eat them. They like torturing me.

-I don't want to go back to school. Sure, I love my friends and California is great, but I don't want to start a new semester. I rather enjoy doing nothing over break. Oh well. All good things must come to an end. It won't be the same without Nu-Nu too. I love Kendall, and rooming with her will be great, but Nu-Nu is a part of our little friend family and she will be missed.

Well, I think that is about all for right now. Hope 2009 finds you joyful and in good health. Goodbye!
