after i entered the new year with a high school gang party, it was back to school and back to headaches. last semester of my senior year of college!

in january i was still enjoying all my new classes. i was getting annoyed at the fact that the senior theater project was taking up all my time and that meals were becoming an optional part of the day.

february brought the close of smoking lesson, our senior theater project, which also brought a close to spending random nights at blondie's with the crew. BUT it also brought about my first main stage role of signora sirelli in right you are! if you think you are.

march brought the onset of extreme senior-itis. i was stressed out about the play because i wanted to succeed. and i spent spring break with cubee up in troy in the winter while jeff, loli and jane spent it in warmer weather. it also brought the death of a college legend... figit.

in april the main stage show ended with everyone praising my performance - woohoo! and then i bought my first fish, oscar wilde (who is still doing quite well i might add)... even though i lost bosie, my second fish when they both got sick. cube and i went to the shore for our third annual weekend getaway... and this time we went to atlantic city. fun times. my car was also hit in the goodyear parking lot by a friend's roommate.

by the time may rolled around i was happy to have classes ending. end of the year parties abounded and most were quite fun... even if they were all a little bitter sweet. my college graduation was beautiful and sad all at the same time. but it was good to come home.

in june mom and i went to disney world on a land and sea cruise (4 days in disney world and 3 on a disney cruise). it was amazing. we also moving into our current house. an amazing and much needed change.

i turned 22 in july... and fell in love with a breed of dog called the affenpinscher.

finally, in august i became a working woman. and i felt withdrawl when cubee returned to college and i didnt.

in september i got a promotion to co-head teacher! i also visited cubee for a weekend.

by october i was really feeling the withdrawl of not being able to spend time with my college friends. living so far away from them sucks!

in november i got an offer for a teaching position at a school for children with disabilities. i scheduled the interview in the beginning of december where i found out that the school is really just for kids who are unable to go to regular school because they've been expelled, or because they have other emotional problems. arg.

the holidays were good to me, but by december i was really feeling very annoyed at my job.

cubee suprised me on new years eve by taking me to nyc to see the ball drop. for the first time since we started dating, i got to kiss him at midnight. it was an interesting night. but now that i've done it once, i dont think i'd ever do nyc for new years again. too much standing around and going through security check points. and in order to really be part of the fun you'd have to stand in times square starting at 2 or 3 pm!!! now that's just crazy.

but anyway, overall it was an interesting year. i definitely still miss college life, but i dont miss all the work that goes with it. and here's to hoping that 2005 will bring a better job opportunity for me. and a decent one for cubee too.
