so i'm settled in quite nicely in san diego now. i'm still not quite done unpacking, but all the crucial stuff is done and all. our room is...interesting. when i first came and the beds weren't bunked, it was horrible and tiny and set in a manner that made it seem that we hated each other. it's a lot nicer now that the beds are bunked, because we have actual floor space and even though there's definitely my side and cindy's side, they're not separated by any barriers, just the regular imaginary line division. so it's friendly and welcoming to others...which is good, 'cause our aprtament mates seem to enjoy hanging out in this room. we need to invest in some seating, like a bean bag or butterfly chair.

the decorations in the room are going along quite wonderfully. almost all of our lotr stuff is up, and we acquired 3 new posters today alone. we've also retired the old legolas one and will be sending it to emily, cin's little sister. we decided we've had him for 2 years, so it's time to get something else and let emily enjoy the poster. now, we're just waiting for my aragorn one to arrive. we saw a copy of it today, and cin had to admit that it's a beatifully gorgeous poster. i can't wait for it to arrive. i also can't wait for cin to draw the door to the mines of moria so we can put it up either on our door, or just inside our door as a curtain. yes. i think we're gonna have to find someone to find someone with a digital camera to take a pic of the room when it's all done so i can post it for all to see.

my classes are good, or at least seem to be. i've only had one day of class, but they all seem really interesting. i'm looking for a lab position, as well, and so far, i've gotten an offer from a place that works with pigeons and studies how they make choices. i'm not super interested in pigeons, but i'll take what i can get. apparently, human subjects participate in some studies at that lab, too, so it wouldn't be all pigeons, which is good. so yeah. school year shaping up to be good.

it's also the jewish new year, and i'm finding that i like the coincidence of the two. it's a good time to take stock of my life, both school and personal. last year was a good year for my jewish development, with my bat mitzvah and bci and all, and i'm hoping this year continues on the same note. i'm glad to be living with shelley...we have good conversations, and i think i can learn a lot from her. i've also met some nice hillel people that have good friend potential, so i'm excited about that. i'm feeling very optimistic about the next year. i love the beginning of the new year 'cause there's so much potential in everything, opportunities all ahead. it's happy and exciting. so yeah. i'm looking forward to everything this year.

to all of you who are reading this, i want to apologize for anything i've done in the past year that may have caused you pain. i never want to hurt the people i love, but i know how easy it is to do so without thinking. i'm also sorry for anything you think i should have done and i didn't. carelessness can be a big source of pain, and i'm sorry if i made any of you feel neglected.

have a wonderful new year, or new school year if you're not celebrating new year's right now. i wish you all the best...may lots of opportunities come your way and may you take them all.
