2012 has been special. i've surprised myself so much this year. by stepping way out of my comfort zone, multiple times, i realize how very sweet and rewarding and beautiful (once) foreign actions and experiences really are.
a new birthday approaches. it's only been a year, but it seems like my last one was so very long ago? i feel like the oldest soul right now. new friends bring me back down and help me keep a carefree sense of.. i don't know, delight? but as i'm typing this right now, the only person I can really relate to is bilbo baggins with his "there and back again" tale (story of my life, though... smh)
i went on the greatest adventure of my life in March. and graduated in May. (and i dearly miss all the people who i met and formed relationships with during those 3 years of my life)
i went on traveling to both coasts of the US over the summer. was given a really awesome graduation gift, visited my Shelb, and also went to visit some loves of mine, as they moved into their new house.
i started my first full semester of college.. bringing me one step closer to my PNW move. i met people who introduced me to places like evergreen. and who have served as other life posts.
i started my first job at JAK's. went to ACL (again with my favorite person to go to shows with, ever). i voted for the first time ever, and Barack Obama was re-elected president. Christmas and New Years snuck up on me and happened way too fast, making me feel really old. nye came and also went. (?!) i don't really know where the year has gone...
