A new year! Welcome 2004.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to the year 2003. The year that will forever known to be as the year of DRAMAH!<\/p>\n

This year, I…<\/p>\n

  • figured out what relationships were worth saving<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • made friendships with people I normally wouldn\\’t associate myself with<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • figured out my future career<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • met Alecky in person for the first time!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • had two Ghiradelli earthquakes – mostly drank<\/i> by a straw<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • drove every day 2.5 hour roundtrip to an internship in Santa Clara<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • went to four bars and did not drink alcohol at all<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • had only a good time at one of the four bars…on my 21st birthday<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • still have not exercised my right of being 21<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • had the best birthday dinner ever even if only a quarter of the people I invited showed up<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • flew out of state by myself to Minny Soda to meet TWO BOYZ!!!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • still am indecisive of singledom and attachedness<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • finally attained a research position at GUIR<\/a> which I had been desiring for almost 2 years – in actuality, only took 2 e-mails to accomplish the job!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • finally felt at ease in a class group, where nobody was a leader and everybody played the role in a team<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • communicated with each of my EXes once this year in a surprise move – a random phone call for one and a surprise visit to his work for the other<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • drove all the way to San Francisco just to have dinner at the best Japanese restaurant ever<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • went all the way to Frisco just to watch Matrix Reloaded in the UA Coronet at midnight<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • used my futon for other purposes than just a place to fling my clothes<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • woke up at 5:30 am to buy over $300+ of merchandise on Black Friday<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • visited UCSC and Stanfurd for the very first time<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • met my cousin and his girlfriend (possibly his finance) after nearly 5 years of not seeing each other…they moved to the Bay Area about 3 months later<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • spent 3 hours in the local supermarket…researching how they categorize products in the store for a class paper<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • realized the power of study groups and cafes<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • caused positively.cpnet to break apart when the war threads started…and the whole forum eventually fell apart about 5 months later<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • made certain boys dislike me – tee hee!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • subletted my apartment to a student who did grad school in London<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • found that people always liked giving gifts; they always forget my mantra of presence > present<\/b><\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • sponsored Rekuytn<\/a> instead of participating in the blogathon<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • seemed the most drunk at a number of parties although I was the only one who did not drink alcohol!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • argued about alcohol too many times this year, regretted bringing the topic into conversation every single time<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • returned to my senior high school mindset – there is always a silver lining in every gray cloud<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • learned what spooning meant – yes I am a naive little girl<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • am a ENFJ<\/a>!!! Okay, I just had to throw in a web quiz<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • got an A…in….LINGUISTICS<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • have been used<\/i> extensively as a source of computer help<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • got an I\\’m blogging this<\/a> t-shirt<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • learned that Berkeley<\/a> is not the safety school of America<\/a><\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
