Zwanzig

Today's my last full day being 20 years old- that's a little weird. I'm not sure I'm ready to be 21 (with all of its implications, particularly since I attend UVa, a relatively party-heavy school- I have been able to resist parties up until now because I haven't felt comfortable breaking the law and drinking while I was under 21 years old).
I do hope 21 will overall be a better year than 20 was (although the past few months of year 20 have been some of the best of my life, the first few were terrible). I am determined to just keep working on improving myself (and show my Mom and aunts that I'm not completely ridiculous) as well as keep up with life :) My 2011 resolutions will stay as my birthday resolutions: Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much, Don't Enter the ER (although I'm thinking I potentially want to strike the last part of that resolution- ever since I've thought of it, the dumb injuries for the most part have gone away to be replaced with awful illnesses [I much prefer the dumb injuries, particularly because the stories for the injuries are usually entertaining while the ones for the illnesses- if they even exist- are not]).
*The title of this post is the German word for 'twenty'- I happen to think the German terms for 'twenty' and 'twelve' (zwölf- the age I started learning German, back in England in 7th grade) are awesome*

Daybook- June 7


I have seen this idea on a number of blogs that I have read and decided to try it out myself. The original idea comes from Peggy Hostetler at the Simple Woman's Daybook.http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/
Outside my window- my gel American flag is on the window
I am thinking- how weird it is that I will be a fully legal adult tomorrow
I am thankful for- 20 (or is it 21? I'm a little confused) complete, mostly wonderful years of life :)
I am wearing- tan capris, my blue 'life is good' tshirt (which I am pretty sure I got for my 20th birthday last year or maybe for Christmas- almost definitely from my Aunt Terry)
I am creating- not much at the moment
I am going- to Brion's Grille tomorrow with Sarah to celebrate my birthday!
I am reading- Pella's Angel
I am hoping- to have a good birthday tomorrow!
I am hearing- YouTube videos and my fan
A few plans for the rest of the week (in no particular order)- my 21st birthday tomorrow (Wednesday, June 8, 2011)!!, kindergarten!
Picture- Still working on figuring out how to upload pictures- basically know what I'm doing now (now to learn how to upload multiple photos onto one post). This week's is of the kindergarten class I have been going to for the past few weeks- they're the best :)
