the obligatory new years res post

...but i'm not making any this year!

this is because i get the sensation 2009 will be quite enough without me pledging to reform any huge part of our lives. as always, i'll be striving for contentment -- the task i'll be grappling with my whole life, but particularly these days it seems!

2009 right now feels like a roller coaster- when you are just making that first uphill ascent and you just hear the clicking sound of the tracks underneath you.

i've had an anxiety attack (or 10) in the past month due to the quantity of "unknowns" in our life right now. matt's been extraordinary at helping me through this, with his constant reminder that we are happy newlyweds living on the san diego bay, lets enjoy this while it lasts!!

pretty soon, we will be moving to some unknown foreign land with some unknown volunteer placement/ organization for an unknown length of time, not to mention the unknown departure date. oh and the unknown amount of money we have to fundraise.

then we will be applying to law school and committing to it in some unknown city at unknown schools.

to occupy my mind these days, ive decided to start doing LSAT prep again. which is ridiculous because i did perfectly great on it the first time i took it. now im just going to study and try to get a perfect score. HAHA... right. but this will give me something to do while matt is studying for his GREs. i actually find parts of the LSAT to be fun. and i figure a productive use of my time is practicing my brain for law school right? i know i sound crazy, but i desperately needed something to get my mind off of the 'unknowns' and Sudoku just doesn't do the trick. so here i am studying for that dreaded test again for no real reason. i'm crazy!

happy 2009.
this year is going to bring some really exciting posts to my blog, i can feeeeeel it.
i hope you are excited for 2009 too! :)
