The New Year

There's something about becoming disconnected with the life you have always known that brings a kind of fear to my heart.

Then again, it's an excited, almost cautionary kind of fear.

On one hand, I'm nearing the end of college - my last semester at BGSU begins on Monday, and it'll be a busy one. I'm hoping to get a lot done. I'm fairly settled into Meijer, and the job is a piece of cake now, so save for a few busy holiday weeks, I'm not expecting my job to interfere with school in any way.

What probably will interfere with school is an uncontrollable urge to create. I've taken a strong interest in YouTube lately, and I'm looking for ways to upload videos - old stuff I've done, newer stuff I'm done, and anything random that I come across in my daily life.

I'm looking forward to 2008. "Even years" seem to always go better for me than "odd years." The year is starting off well, anyway: new possibilities financially and socially :-) are keeping me busy. I'm hoping (although not promising myself) to get back into old habits: writing and working out. Eh, who knows...

So how will 2008 go? I think it'll be a splendid year: my last spring break, graduation, job hunting (moving out too!), a novel in the works (secret project!), and my long-awaited 10 year anniversary celebration of the November 1998 release of Ocarina of Time.

I'm finishing tonight with an awesome surprise: I found the source of the Tetris Attack soundtrack straight from the SNES ROM, dumped it, and then converted the files to MP3 - meaning I now have two dozen awesome "relaxation" tracks to listen to!
