life.

what a loaded word :)

i'll get around to my adventures in wakayama (akp spring trip) next week.
it's 2:30am, and i'm still awake. i "napped" after dinner until 10:30pm,
so i'm golden in terms of energy and alertness :)

i'm motivated. excited to get some homework done.
so why am i blogging? good question lol ^_^

anyway, i decided to write for a little bit in one of my many journals (this one dating back to 2005). tonight, it was a mini list of short and long-term goals, hopes, and "to do's". and for fun, i flipped back to the beginning and found a similar list. it's amazing how much and how little has changed in four years. (oxymoron much?)

here's a little peek:
#2 pass the JLPT at level one
#6 hike black mt. with my family
#10 have a fun & rewarding (final) cheerleading season senior year

my "things to live by" hasn't changed much~

live life to the fullest.
each morning has potential to become a great day :)

always believe in myself.

don't give in; don't give up.

just do it! make it happen.

keep the goal in sight.

leave my options open.
i might miss a great opportunity otherwise.
