| So much has happened this year that I have to be thankful for.
I took part in this international ballroom dance club that competed and did well among different colleges in California.
I finished my senior engineering projects with almost the best marks I could get.
I took an amazing acting class.
I really gained ground with my basketball playing.
I've never been closer to friends and family, and I made a lot of new friends that I'm sorely going to miss, including one of the most giving, sweetest girls I'll ever know.
I learned how to ride a motorcycle, and took it 1500 miles in 3 months.
I went to 3 extraordinary raves: Monster Massive, Together As One, and Electric Daisy Carnival.
This has truly been an amazing year; as I reflect on what I've been through, I can only look ahead at what could be the greatest adventure of my life.
I leave to study music in Ghana for 5 months on July 18th, 2008. I only wish everyone could be as lucky as I feel I've been.

| geez it took me like 3 minutes to find out how to blog. lol. This new layout just looks too cluttered and confusing.

| I want this all to mean something, I want what I do to make a difference, I need to be passionate about what I do.
...
I just wish I knew what I wanted much earlier.

| I was talking with my friend a bit about 'purpose' today. She was bothered that her boyfriend didn't seem to have one, or that he wasn't motivated to get something important done, like in applying to Law School. I guess I could see how she could think his lack of will power in this subject could transfer over to other areas but it doesn't seem like it's the biggest thing to fuss over. Anyway.. purpose. I've been thinking about this myself. Right now I wish I could've done things differently. I'm an engineer, and I'm not a bad one, I don't think. Sometimes it feels like it, tho, because there are so many other talented kids around me, or I'm just unaware of all the trials and tribulations that they've been going through. For the most part, I don't think I'm that bad, but I'm not a top one, that's for sure.
So what does this have to do with purpose? Basically I don't think engineering will fulfill my purpose, at least, not as of yet, the way I've seen things... But maybe it doesn't have to. Maybe this will just be a lil detour from where I want to be, and if that's the case, it's not so bad, no? I'm almost done anyway. So I'm going to slowly graduate over the next year, thinking over things. Do I know what great things I want to do before I die right now? I have a small idea of what would make me happy, but hopefully I can go further than happy, as far as I can take it.
I just recently finished applying to study music in Ghana for next fall, you guys have no idea how excited I am for that! I wish I could leave right now actually. This minute. This second. Gone.
But I've gotta be patient.
They recently took the shuttle route away that's next to my apartment so I've gotta find another way to get around without a car. And being San Diego with all its distance spread out all over... ugh. Few options. I think I'm gonna try to get a motorcycle within the next few months, a lil ninja. Luckily my parents know I've been talking about this for a year, so it shouldn't get much flak from them when I finally do get one. Man, I'm really excited about this too.

| One word: INCREDIBLE. Happy new year, everyone!
