happy 2008! the past few months have been pretty great. there's not much i can complain about. i wound up getting a B in one of my classes instead of 2 As, but it's nice to know that I can get mad about getting a B instead of an A. It brought my GPA back up above a 3.0, so it's also nice to know that I won't be getting a letter from the school telling me I'm on academic probation. Go me! Only 3 more grad classes and I'm DONE with them! FOREVER. I just gotta truck it a little bit longer. just a little bit longer....I gotta say though, I'm excited about my research. It makes me feel important that I'm actually contributing to the scientific world, and my research findings will actually do something. It's a nice feeling.

I've been following the presidential debates very closely this go-round, and it's actually getting me really involved in the whole thing. It's the first election where I feel that I'm mature enough to make a good, rational decision about who I want to be my next president. I've been watching most of the debates, and have been listening to a lot of radio shows, mainly Sean Hannity, on the topic so that I make sure I know about all the candidates. I've pretty much made up my mind about who I want and I'm following him really closely to see how he does. I have to say, there are a few republican candidates I don't wanna see make it and I hope they don't. And I can't stress enough about how much I think Hillary Clinton is an idiot. There, I said it.

Christmas/New Years was amazing. It's nice to know I can start over.

I've been pretty hardcore on working out the past 2 weeks, and I'm really enjoying it. I hope to see results within the next few months so I look sexy in the summer. I like working out. It's been ridding me of my headaches and I have a better overall sense of wellness. Why didn't I start doing this early? I'm really sticking to it because I have a lot of people pushing me to go and making me work out. I think I need to go with Greg to have him make a workout for me since I'm ignorant on what the hell to do. Wish me luck!
