of the year past

2oo6 in review:


Family:

Had a mostly whole family in the beginning-- then was fatherless, then (fatherful ? nah.) not, then fatherless again, I thought permanently, and then not again;

Got kicked out of the house (with my sister) during the summer, and facing possibly the same fate if I go through with something that I am still not sure of;

Had a fight with my mother (not the first) shortly before Christmas, for which she and I ignored each other for about a week or so;



School:

Was a Computer Science student, then wasn't;

Was frustrated, then hopeful, then frustrated, then just tired of everything;



Friends:

Gained one, lost touch with old ones, reconnected with ones thought lost, met prospective ones;



Love:

Met someone, had a crush on (fell in love with?) said someone, was hopeful about said someone, but was ignored by said someone;

Met someone else, felt mostly hopeful about said someone else, but has not talked to said someone else in months (also lost said someone else's number);



Self:



Did something that sometimes I regret, and other times want to repeat;

Lost God, but hopefully on the way to knowing Him again;

Cried, a lot, and probably more than during all other college years combined;



So, all in all, not a very good year for yours truly. Here's to hoping the next will be better.
