I really wanted to write a New Year’s update, but I was way too lazy…and then kept forgetting it. So this is my “New Year’s” update…twenty-nine days late. But yeah, 2005 was an amazing year…so many things happened to make it a year that will not be forgotten. I remember when I was a little kid, and I calculated the year I would graduate high school. When I figured out it was going to be 2005, I thought, “Wow, that is a really LONG time from now.” And now it’s been and past. Graduated from high school. Came to UF for college…sorta scary, thinking I’m in college now. Remember when you were little, thinking how big college kids were? Yeah, I’m one of them now. Pretty cool, huh?

And now I can’t think of anything else to say about 2005…since I’ve been in 2006 for so long, I’ve lost the ’05 vibe. Just know this – it was a year of awesomeness. 2006 is looking like it will be another awesome year, as I turn 19(that awkward year after you’re 18 but before you turn 20…y’know?).

Actually, a lot of cool stuff has already happened in 2006…started school on the ninth with bunches of cool classes(minus most of them). I’m taking differential equations, technical writing, physics 2, finance, and microeconomics this semester. Since it’s still in the first few weeks right now, haven’t been too terribly busy, so had time to just hang with people. We’re starting flag football in a few weeks, so that’s gonna rock hardcore – I’ve never played competitive football before, so can’t wait! Because of that, been practicing a lot lately, so probably played the most football I’ve ever played in one month this past January. And that’s a good thing. Watched a bunch of movies I haven’t seen before, including Moulin Rouge(interesting movie – enjoyable for the most part), Fight Club(very different kind of movie – wasn’t quite my type), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(another interesting movie – I enjoyed it). I’m trying to remember if I saw any other movies – Chris, remind me.

I finally read Dune(figured I needed to read it, so ordered it on Amazon). It’s supposed to be “the” science fiction book. I definitely enjoyed it. Took me a few days to read, but it was worth it. I actually didn’t see it as much of a sci-fi book, though. It was more philosophical than anything. Not sure if that’s even the right description. Anyway, even though I liked it, still doesn’t top other books by Orson Scott Card or Isaac Asimov. Ok, getting off that book tangent…

Been enjoying Creekside life a lot lately – sweet time tonight listening to bands and drinking coffee at their “Creekside Cafe” thing. And I actually didn’t drink that much coffee but still I feel very awake right now. Mostly, I ate fudge and creampuffs and some really really awesome berry pie. Besides that, didn’t eat all day until afterwards, when me, Rob, Liz, and Steven went to Checkers. It was good times eating and talking about random stuff until we realized how cold it was. Before I went to that tonight, played football most of the afternoon. Had our first offical team practice, so it was pretty sweet.

Hm, Dream needs to go to bed, so gonna post this now. I was going to write a poem, but I might post that separately later.

And thanks for reading that everybody- yes, I know I write too much.
