Im working on schoolwork, so it's CLEARLY time to complete one of those survey things....

15 years ago:
I was eight. I can�t remember much of it except that I used to smuggle beverly cleary books into my textbooks because i thought school was boring.

10 years ago:
chopped all my hair off, just in time to start a new school. Note to self: if you�ve got superthick, curly hair, you CAN�T have julia roberts� hair when she was Tinkerbell in Hook. She's Julia Roberts! You are not. Expect results more closely resembling Screech from Saved by the Bell.

5 years ago:
I started university. And all the accompanying adventures. Was that REALLY five YEARS ago? I know it�s clich�, but it really does feel like yesterday.

1 year ago:
I was hanging on by a Very Thin Thread. I�m glad i made it.

yesterday:
i had a To Do list so long that i had to start a new page in my day planner. Yes, i have a day planner. Didn't get any of it done. Gah.

today:
I completed my resume in preparation for the Real World. Not the show.

tomorrow:
who knows? infinity and beyond?

5 songs i know all the words to, even without the music: All of Counting Crows� entire first album. Which, typically, i can�t remember the name of. But i swear i can sing the whole album. Also, that �tom�s diner� song. That's about it. i'm terrible with lyrics.

5 places I�ve lived:

5 bad habits i have:
staying up too late; being late for everything; procrastinating; dropping things (including the ball); having stupid things happen to me and no one else; falling asleep with hair elastics on my wrists and waking up with no circulation in my hands.

5 Biggest Worries I have at the moment:
- plans for next year
- ending up living in a basement with cats
- determining whether i�m being too fucking passive about things
- passing Physiology of Coronary Heart Disease (gag)
- deciding what I want.. in relationships, school, family, friends, work, EVERYTHING.

5 Biggest Joys at the moment:
my friends and family; visiting home; great phone calls and conversations; muffled world after fresh snowfalls; knowing that i'm almost graduating... and scary as that is, i'm amazed and overjoyed that i've almost made it through.
