2008 is almost over and it hasn't really been that glamourous. (though the Beijing Olympics were pretty awesome). I'm 24. I am still in school. I don't have a "real" full time job. Has it already been 7 years since graduating from high school? I don't believe it. People have gotten engaged and married and even having babies. I am still a Disneyland virgin. My brother is not currently fighting any fires. My sister is in London. England. She got married. I guess the summer was a little glamourous (with all the weddings). And as for the family living arrangements, my brother lives downtown, my sister lives in London and I am still living at home - I'm still hanging on to that hope. Has my Dad finally learned that I've grown up? I'm not entirely sure. Have I met friends that I could be silly with? I would like to think so...and hope so. I haven't been paying off my student loan debt because I'm still schooling. And don't even get me started about saving money to buy my own place. That idea just seems like lightyears away now.
So. Am I happy? I don't know if I'm happy, but I feel content.
PS. I'm still selfishly wishing the world would revolve around me.

i want to fast-forward my life to 2008. it seems like a glamourous year. there's the summer olympics at beijing. (i love the swimming events.) i'd be 24. i would have graduated. and be searching for a "real" full time job. it would be like the 7th mini school reunion and someone will most likely be engaged or already married! i would finally get to experience Disneyland for the first time. my brother would have found a firefighting job somewhere. my sister...would be doing whatever it is that she's passionate about doing. there'd be a solution to the family living arrangments. (as least i hope so.) by then i would hope my dad will eventually learn that his little girl has already grown up. by then i would hope to have met friends that i could be silly with. i would be paying off my student loan debt and starting to save $ to buy my future home. in 2008, i would be happy. but...2008 seems so far away. it's only september 2006. and at the end of the day...i wish the world would revolve around me.
