2007: A Year of Renewal (LJ)

2007 was a banner year in many ways.

I graduated from College with my AA after attending off and on for close to 10 years. But this included 2-3 years I spent not taking any classes, lots of part time jobs, 1 disastrous year at a private college, diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder and at least year of hard core agoraphobia.

My point? I graduated!

I also got a job with an ad agency. I have only done 3 jobs so far but i hope to get a lot more this upcoming year.

I was also hired by Apple and am happily working as a Concierge. I plan on training myself to become a Creative this next year. :)

The bad things involve my grandma breaking her neck, my sister having a drama llama visit during this time, me cutting my own hair, having a weird, slightly emolicious Christmas, my adoptable not going off as I had hoped, getting frozen on Subeta, TWICE, my continuing conflicted feelings towards a man who hurt me so badly I must be retarded to have any good feelings towards him and my dad's classroom burning down. Not at all in that order.

But you know what? I was so blessed by the prayers of people I have never met who uplifted my grandma to God. I am blessed to have a sister I ADORE and who can move past the weird things that happened during the summer, I am blessed to have a niece and nephew who love me and who are so freaking adorable I can't stand it!!

As for presents. Mreh. My birthday is still coming up :D As for Emolicious Christmas, some of it was my fault. As for the man I don't know to love or leave? That'll take some time and prayer and thought and stuff. My gramma has her health, my grandpa will hopefully get help for his BP, and the rest of 2007??

HASTA LA BYE BYE!!
