i don't have any new year's resolutions

i think i made some resolutions last year. but i can't remember what they were. get a boyfriend? lol. who knows...

i don't really think making resolutions works. only examining your life once a year seems a bit lazy to me i guess. making goals for yourself would be something i'd like to do all the time. not just on december 31st. self-examination seems to be pretty important to growing and becoming the person you want to be - at least in my opinion - so why would want to do it only one day a year? i think i keep repeating myself.

i leave in 16 days. i'm getting really excited. the only thing i'm nervous about at this point is money. will i have enough? and what is enough any way? i've saved up some, i have some left over from loans. i'm just going to have to be careful. cautious. my goal at this point is to only spend money on necessary items until i leave (gas for the car, and maybe a meal or too).

speaking of money...i did spend some while in kato. i got some from my parents and then decided to purchase a global gps system. well...when i say global that's not true. its really of europe and america. but i'm excited. on amazon it was 100 bucks less than best buy. and i think it'll be a good thing to have. obviously i'll have no idea where i'm going when i'm traveling in foreign countries.

and somehow during that paragraph my mind wandered to the word "pickpocket." lol. i'm gonna need some seriously tight security when i have that gadget on me.

...'til next time. happy new year.
