Where have the days gone?

New Years in Chicago

For the first time in many years, I didn't celebrate New Years in Pella. New Years is a strange holiday because it's so hyped up-but there isn't much to do. I've never liked the holiday much except that it used to mark the new start of a semester in college. This year, I had a good time with my college friends, we ordered in and then went to a friend's house. It was low key and a great time. I rocked guitar-hero (well I was playing on easy and the person I was against was playing expert) and dominated my opponent.
I don't really feel like it's a New Year because I'm half way through my quarter. I still have to take 2 midterm exams and write tons of papers...it seems like August should truly be the start of my "New Year." I'm sure I'll get used to it. Happy 2008!

This the only picture I have that you can see my nose ring. It's pretty small, and I think I like it more every day. (Except when I forget I have it and pull it out accidentally.) After a couple of weeks, I think I'm going to replace this little stud with a 2 karat cubic zirconia...just kidding.

Pictures of my great time with my family in Pella are coming...I forgot my camera in Grand Rapids, so I'll be posting them soon.
