Happy New years everybody!

Well everyone, we have made it through 2009! Frankly, I am surprised to see how many people have made it with all this stress of the economy, terrorists, and everything else that sprouts from the worlds problems so to you who is reading this, GOOD JOB! As for me, 2009 was an alright year. There were some ups and downs: Moved to a new house because of a crazy uncle (I know there’s good inside of him), I tried a fraternity during my first year of college and it wasn’t for me, had lots of homework, studied Japanese =), got a new truck, and all I am looking forward to is Japan! While reflecting on the year, I was trying to think of new years resolutions, you know, those things people say they are going to do and fail at them 90 percent of the time haha, well at least that is what it seems like. This year will be the first year I am actually going to do a new years resolution:
1. Drink at least 7 glasses of tea a week- First of all, I love tea, any kind. Second, it’s very healthy!
2. Study Japanese everyday- I want to get good at it, only way to do that is to study everyday and repeat, repeat, repeat.
3. Take pictures- I got a new camera for christmas, I plan to use it extensively.
