Ein Glückliches Neues Jahr!

 

I hope everyone had an awesome New Year's celebration!  My sister and I watched the Doctor Who Year's Marathon on BBC America, which in our opinion is not a bad way to celebrate! :) Then we of course watched the ball drop in Times Square when it officially became 2011.  Afterwards, my family from the West Coast called us  via skype to wish us a Happy New Year, so we chatted on there a while.  

 This week I'll be starting a quick, three week online geography course so I'll finally have something to do! And I'll be hanging out with friends,  and going to the movies! I saw TRON on Thursday with my sister, which I liked but she didn't.  I really want one of those light-up body suits though... And my gosh, is Olivia Wilde gorgeous or what?

 I've made a few minor formatting changes to my blog! They aren't particularly noticeable, but if you look at the old posts before this, the pictures and videos may be cut off due to their size.  I'm pretty inept when it comes to html, but I'm slowly learning and will hopefully know how to properly format my blog one day!  I've also made a flickr account so that I can more easily format and save my photos (you can now find it in the links section).

Happy New Year 2011!

Two Thousand and Eleven

So this is the last post for the year, I suppose! I'm surprised I've even been able to blog somewhat consistently for more than a month. Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve and an awesome 2011. My family and I are something of social hermits (we blame 4 years of social solitude in Germany), so no parties for us - just celebrating at home together, :) But regardless of whether you're going to a party or hanging out with family, make sure you have fun!
2010 for me has been relatively quiet and uneventful (not that that's a bad thing, better than having a shit year, right?). Some noteworthy things include:

• Getting my Driver's License (finally),
• Making a few new friends,
• Surviving the enormous snow storm in early 2010,
• Lots of new music/expansion of personal taste regarding music,
• Making it through the most painfully difficult Fall/Winter Semester at Uni,
• Deciding on a Major/Minor for Uni
• Slowly adapting more and more to life in America
• Becoming more and more determined to live in Europe (specifically, Germany)

Obviously, not much happened this year. I do earnestly hope that I do more come 2011. I don't make New Years Resolutions because I am notoriously bad at keeping them - by the first week of January, I'll have forgotten most of them. Plus, none of them are particularly long-term (ie: clean your room, donate clothes you don't want, etc...). But yes, I'm hoping that 2011 will be the year that I actually do a lot of things (STUDY ABROAD, FOR EXAMPLE?! OR ADOPTING A GREYHOUND?).
I hope all your New Year's wishes come true!
