This whole business of becoming an adult is very interesting. I am caught between declaring quite a lot - though not total - independence from my parents - and not quite yet being confident in how responsible a twenty year-old I am to stand on my own two feet...

The thing is this: I have a lot of growing up to do. I am not terribly irresponsible. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am one of the most responsible childless, single twenty year-olds I know. BUT there are a lot of areas in which I would like to improve, and, I dunno, it seems like some of them are areas in which I need to excel before I can call myself a young adult. Perhaps I put too much pressure on myself. It wouldn't surprise me. There's just so much I want to do, and so much I feel like I need to do. It's just interesting to try and tackle any significant portion of all my goals while I am still kind of growing into myself.

Christmas break was good. And now I'm back. School starts tomorrow, and I suppose I am ready to discipline myself again. This year shall be very interesting. Stay tuned, cuz something big is bound to happen; I can feel it in my bones...
