2005 is here....
I hope everyone had a great holiday break. I spent mine back in the 'Frew with family and friends. Usually the changing of the calendar years doesn't have an effect on me. It's just a new calendar...I don't have one in my house and I don't work in an office so it's not a big deal to have to replace my organizer.
2005 has hit me a little harder. My grandparents are moving off the farm and settling down in town. The last Christmas on the farm was a nice one, just a little strange to think of it as the last.
The changes have only started. A lot of my friends are talking about getting engaged or buying houses. Definitely a shock, a slap in the face saying "people are growing up, getting old, and guess what Andrew? You are too, whether you like it or not.."
It's sort of crazy though cause my response has been to go the opposite way. I'm going into my last term of school...yes, those 6 years and change will finally culminate in a degree in econ with a minor in physics (that last sentence was extra hard to type as both hands had fingers crossed) and I could care less about grad school or a 'career' job. Currently, I'm just working wherever I can (Bomber at the moment) to save some money for travelling. Waterloo has been a great town/city but you can only stay so long before the world calls out offering new exciting opportunities. So for now, I'm kicking back and feeling lucky. I've got great friends, awesome family, my health and a roof over my head.
Things are changing in 2005 but I'm gonna be thankful for them. It sounds preachy but we complain a lot about our lives when across the world a lot of people are just thankful to be alive.
In 2005, I'm resolving to just be happy L-I-V-I-N'ing.
