It is December 31, 2011 at 10:18pm and I am lying in my bed while most of the world is either home with their families, out with their friends, or simply spending time with loved ones to ring in the new year. It is an ordinary evening here at the halfway house for me. Today, I did some reading, ate some food, wrote a paper for my winter break class- oh, and had a random guy (potentially a stalker?) come and try to drop me off food, but really just almost got me in a lot of trouble. I don't know who it was, but whatever name they gave the staff, I definitely do not know/recognize. I mean, I've had random people try to contact me through my incarceration who somehow found me through articles or DOC, but this time it has gone too close to f*cking with my freedom and that's not cool. Whoever you are, thanks for the gesture, but please leave me alone.
Anyhow, I've decided to skip new years altogether this year- the countdown at least. I don't think I've ever done this before, but last year in the max, watching it on TV with my bunkmate only made me sad. Therefore, I've chosen to skip all of that this year. I shall celebrate the new year in my dreams =) And I am perfectly content with that.
My new year's resolution? Stay strong, finish my degree, and keep moving forward as I'm doing. Oh yeah, and to smile more frequently. =) Things have been going pretty well lately considering. I've been focused, determined, working hard, and pushing through. My parents are showing to be slightly proud of me or happier with me lately, which is something completely new to me and it feels great. I've made it through a lot so I'm pretty proud of myself too because there have been times in the past where I never believed I'd ever get to where I am today- mentally, emotionally, etc. Ok, good night and goodbye 2011 ! One more year to go!
