    Dan nudged me.
    It has been 159 weeks since my last update.  LOL.  Too bad I have nothing to say.  The end.

    January
    Hello out there. There is not much to report in Jackieland as of now. I don't feel like writing well-structured sentences or including vivid details, so this may be a somewhat rudimentary post. I might as well update anyway, while I am still thinking about doing so. In general, I have been doing nothing but completing my scholarly duties and keeping mostly to myself, but I still have plenty of those memorable moments that make life interesting. Here is some recent news.

    First of all, I found out I took COM-102 for no reason. When I received my report card, I saw that my grade signified I had taken the class before, meaning that this past term I had repeated it for no credit. After speaking with my high school counselor, who was just as clueless as I, we finally figured out that my AP class counted for credit hours in not only COM-101 but also COM-102. Interestingly enough, my lovely college was well aware, but did not stop me from wasting my time enrolling in the course for a second time. Thankfully it was my favorite class. Otherwise I would be incredibly angry that I woke up early and wrote four major essays completely for my health. Overall, I'm glad it happened because I met some good friends and an incredible teacher while brushing up on my skills.

    I love going to school only twice a week this semester. Speech class with Kevin and psychology with Jenna should be really fun! Although I can't say I am particularly fond of being in class by 8 AM, I'm satisfied with my schedule. I am taking subjects I know next to nothing about, and all the new facts are remarkably helpful in understanding all the things I have ever learned. Every bit of knowledge interlocks to become an incredible display of enlightenment. Interdisciplinary approaches have always fascinated me. I truly love learning, so I am excited to be back in school.

    My cousin Peter got married this month. Our last name can finally be passed on once again! It was a pretty reception and I got to wear my new dress. Daddy and I did the polka together. I'm next in line to get married. That's an interesting thought. Let's not ponder it quite yet.

    As far as my resolutions go, I have not fully dedicated myself to them. As was so eloquently stated in Shakespeare's Hamlet, "What to ourselves in passion we propose, The passion ending, doth the purpose lose" (Act III, Scene II). What I mean to say is I didn't keep any of my resolutions. Hahaha! It's a tradition! I did, however, make some progress with a few of the resolutions I did not name in my last post. For example, I see my family more, spend most of my spare time reading, and do more chores around the house. Much of my encouragement has come from Jess, Dan, and Emily. Nikki-Poo and Steve do wonders helping me execute my plans too. Thank you for your support! I love ya!!!

    There is probably more I could record here, but I will not bother at this time. Until we meet again, goodbye.

    New Year's Eve
    The year MMIV is over. To quote Charles Dickens, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness." This phrase, which opens the novel Tale of Two Cities, applies quite well to my interpretation of the past year. I do not wish to speak any more about the unpleasant events that occurred, for these misfortunes cannot be altered. It is sufficient that I acknowledge my mistakes and have learned from them. The moral insight I gained from these experiences will remain with me as I move past them and grow beyond this stage of my humanity.

    In spite of the difficult times, I was blessed with a very prosperous year. My final school days were filled with fond memories. Gym class was actually entertaining thanks to our crazy matches of volleyball ("It's still good!!!") and awesome dance routine. The Scholastic Bowl competitions were extremely fun, and our team even broke the ten-year drought by winning a plaque. Our government class continually threw cute mini-parties. My AP classes were stimulating and worthwhile. Serving as editor of the school newspaper taught me a lot about discipline and interpersonal communication. Prom night marked my first limousine ride and I adored my dress so much. At the Honors Convocation I was named our school's Outstanding English Student of the Year and National Merit Scholar, and I successfully completed my high school career ranked in the top 5% of our graduating class.

    Summer was simply incredible. This was entirely due to the support, love, and generosity of my awesome family. They saved me from my misery and provided me with the memories that made this the best summer of my life. I absolutely loved the sleepovers, concerts, luxury, food, parties, and all-around silly fun. I am genuinely thankful for our bonding time. I love you!!!

    By the time Autumn approached, I had received my driver's license and my first car. I enjoyed my first semester of college very much. My favorite class was COM 102, and my teacher even distributed my writing as exemplary work. I met new people and kept my grades in perfect condition.

    Finally, winter break has been very pleasant. Now that I quit my job, I have been able to relax, read, and write as often as I please. I had a blast with Nikki-Poo and my wonderful boyfriend as well.

    I intend to welcome 2005 by fulfilling a multitude of New Years Resolutions. My central focuses are to choose a major, decide on a transfer college, expand my vocabulary, work out every day, cease using foul language, and do community service.

    I wish a Happy New Year to all those who made 2004 a pleasant year for me.
