I didn't ring in the new year in any special way. It was too cold for me to participate in outdoor events and I'm not a party person so I wouldn't celebrate in a bar. Plus I don't even drink.
Its a brand new year. I hope its a good year. I need a good year. My life has been in a downward spiral ever since I graduated college.
I didn't make any resolutions. The thought never crossed my mind. I just think its a waste of time.
There are things I need to get accomplished this year:
1. Find a job. I need to make enough money to be able to live on my own, pay student loan payments, pay bills, a car payment and car insurance. And have extra money for savings, retirement,and be able to have some fun sometime. That's going to require quite a bit of money. I'll need a much better job than all the ones I've had in the past. I'm really scared about it, too. The economy still hasn't bounced back. There's still a shortage of jobs and companies are reluctant to hire. I don't even know what I want to do! If I had it my way, I'd be a professional singer, but thats not going to happen overnight, if ever.
2. Buy a slightly used car. My current car is a 1997. I like it and it runs great and has very few problems. Its been a great car for the past 5 years, but I'm ready for something newer. I really want a 2009 Toyota Corolla. That's all going to depend on if i accomplish number 1.
3. Lose weight. I know I've been saying that forever and it never happens, but I've got to make it happen somehow. I'm tired of always being the fat girl. I want to feel good about the way I look. I've let myself go and I don't like it!
Today I went out to eat with Lesley for her going away event. It was just me and her. She invited our Korean teacher but his grandma was in town to visit so he couldn't come. We went to Macaroni Market in Itaewon. It was a nice place. I liked the free bread they gave us. I always like bread at eating places. I ordered Macaroni e cheese con bacon. It was expensive, but good. A bowl of macaroni was 12,000 won (around $11 or so). It was a nice portion, but I wouldn't pay 11 dollars for it in the US. It tasted nice. It wasn't made with cheddar cheese with the bright orange color. I don't know what kind of cheese they use. It was more of a cream color. The coke was ridiculous also! It was 4,500 won for a 12oz coke. (thats about $4.00). They gave us free water with our meal and kept refilling it. I could have just drank that and not ordered coke, but I like coke. I paid for Lesley's meal since it was her going away. I wanted to get her something as a gift but I didn't know what to get so I just offered to pay for her meal.
