Happy Belated New Year!

Its a week or so late but oh well. Here's to 2008.
I started classes on Monday and so far I'm enjoying most of them. My Cold War history class is a great follow up to my Imperial Russia class as we are starting pretty much where we left off in the other class. Lsgb and I are going to see Charlie Wilson's War today which should also be fun to tie into the class. The class doesn't have too much work involved in it but its enough. My Terrorism in History class is also interesting, and not too much work either. The bit of work that is involved (a debate and a paper) are going to be done by the end of this month for me since he went in alphabetical order and I was top of the list. Joy. My Crime and Social Control class is a continuation of last term's class and unless I murder the prof, it will continue to be as horrible as it was last term.
I haven't been to my International Law class yet, as the prof is out of town until next Tuesday, should be interesting though.
And to my favorite class, my Philosophy of Law Seminar. My seminar is entitled "Why have a trial when we can have a bargain?". The prof is also trying to talk me into doing a second seminar instead of a paper, but I'm a bit hesistant. That's alot of work and it would have me doing 4 seminars and a debate this term. So I'm not sure yet. We'll see.
Habitat wise this year... well.. Its going to be a long and very stressful term. I'm already pulling my hair out. We're short alot of money, and we've recently had a couple personal conflicts and those are my forte so I'm a bit anxious. But hopefully things will smooth themselves out sooner than later. We've got alot of fundraisers planned for this term. We've got a band night and a movie night. We're selling glowsticks at the campus bars, along with the usual bakesales and bottle drives. And our silent auction which has one really nice big item that if we can get out to the general public could bring us alot of money. So yeah.. hopefully things will go well. And I"m sure they will. I hope.
I only made one resolution for the new year and thus far I've kept it. I have to live healthier. Which means alot of things for me: better eating, more exercise, I need to mend up a few friendships, and I need to work on mending myself too. So yeah, I've been doing really well too. I've been eating well, working out as much as my ankle will allow, I'm doing physio for my ankle and seeing a counsellor and doctor for the emotional stuff. I even think I've gotten a ways in fixing a wary friendship too!
So yeah, 2008 looks good. The term is going to be hard and its already starting to take a toll on me and its only three weeks in but I'm working on the tools to handle it. I've been offered a really good job for the summer that even if it doesn't pay much more than I make now will look awesome on a resume and give me some good experience. I'm hopefully gonna do a bit of travelling this summer too.
Unfortunately with most years, bad stuff's gonna happen. And there are some things already carrying over. Gram's gone which is going to take awhile to adjust too, I miss Dave! like crazy still, and that frienship's never gonna be the same and that kills me, there are some possible health problems I wasn't expecting to need to deal with and there's always the imminent habitat disasters.
But I'm ready for it! and 2008: you can't scare me! :)
