Sorry for a lack of activity, college and crap got in the way :-/ And posting the same quiz I did last year isnt much of an update (considering how pessimistic I've gotten in the past year
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Went to work
Saw a panda for the first time (in person) at the San Diego Zoo
Came out as bisexual to most of my friends (which would probably be better known as queer, since I have no effing clue

and got a really crappy first kiss *facepalm*
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make?
2009
Do well in my first year of collegeOMG, I actually kept to one of my resolutions, with a 3.0 in the second semester
and declare my Poli Sci majorUh try English. Not doing so well in the Poli Sci department English, on the other hand
Become more active in more groupsAlso did, adding my colleges chapter of Gay-Straight Alliance. BEST. DECISION. EVER.
Better control over my moneyEh, kind of at least I have a job now in case I go crazy with the extra cash
Be less stubborn about trying to improve my artHaha uh, no. Well, I wasnt as artsy this year, so its hard to tell :-/
2010
Lose weight (stereotypical resolution FTW! but the campus workout centerwhere I get in for FREEis 2 BLOCKS from my dorm! Just need time to go
Get another 3.0 this coming semester, and maybe each one after that (which I would have had if I hadnt made a D in one classwhich I thought I failedwhich got me a 2.8 :-/ )
Get my ass further out of the closet (Kinda kills the point of me being some equal-rights activist if I cant accept myself :-/ )
Be more creative this year
Get a job I actually enjoy (didnt do it when I had the chance, so Im stuck with it for now. Dont really want to quit, either :-/)
Try not to judge people so quickly (I notice that whenever I meet someone, its like I immediately have to decide whether I like them or not, and that opinion is permanent
Dont worry so damn much ( mostly relates to resolution #5. Its a bit too personal to talk about here, but issues with a past friend, who I havent spoken to in about a year and a half, is ruining my 2010. Dammit, the year just started yesterday, and classes arent till next week :-|
