katster | Five things.

Five things that 2002 taught me:

I am loveable, and that "I love you" is not necesarily just a playground taunt.
That I can survive a semester without going home.
I haven't lost the touch of writing papers at the last minute; however, I might want to consider writing them earlier.
That I can break ties with people I'd prefer to have little or no contact with.
That I can handle a bad situation with poise and effectiveness and advocate for myself.

Five personally significant events of 2002:

The whole Halifax trip, meeting zibblsnrt for the first time in person, and finding out how well we meshed.
Getting into graduate school, and getting out of my house. I'm never coming back for more than a visit.
Learning Java, as much as I want to pull my hair out over it.
The time my group kicked it up a notch to get a project complete. Looking back on it, that was the start of a bad depressive cycle, but it felt good to pull that off.
Touching the AXE! ...and the entire big game win.

Five things I want to do in 2003:

See zibblsnrt again.
Meet ameth in person for the first time. Six years is just way too long to go without meeting a friend.
Stick my neck on the line, and start making time for writing (both academic and non-academic).
Learn to cook more meals at home.
Do well academically. Maybe a straight A. possibly even an A+, if I get lucky.

Five things I don't want to do in 2003:

Start hating Luns because we're sharing living space. (I've noted the tendancy to become paranoid about roommates, legacy of the Semester from Hell.)
Flunk out of grad school or otherwise do poorly.
Screw up a good thing I've got going with zibblsnrt
Believe that inner critic more than I already do now.
Die.
