30-Day Challenge, Day #1

...just randomly, does anyone care that i don't capitalize "I" when referring to myself? Word has made me lazy, always correcting it for me; and in formal settings, i correct it myself and i'm more careful. But i tend to just rattle along and let my fingers do their thing, letting my thoughts flow unchecked, and sometimes i go back and edit and sometimes i don't....

Anyway, i found a 30-Day Writing challenge thing, and hopefully it will help me get started again. Day #1 says to write about something i'm looking forward to this year. It's March, early in the year still...there are a LOT of things i'm looking forward to. For one, i'm giving a piano recital in less than 2 weeks. My parents and aunt are coming, close friends are coming, classmates are coming...so exciting seeing everything finally fall into place. It seems like it's been such a long time since i started on this whole college trip nearly 6 years ago, and yet it's weird thinking that undergrad is almost done. After that, further up and further in!

Another thing i'm looking forward to is starting my grad degree.

And finally, a third thing is Christmas. I love Christmas. As of today there are 9 months and 16 days, and between now and then is the whole year...months and weeks of seasons, fun, tears, surprises, lessons, trials, and the joy of living life. Plus the coming of fall after summer and the anticipation of the holidays...making food, cold weather, singing with friends, enjoying the birth of Christ all afresh. It's wonderful.

Can i just say it? I'm looking forward to life. Period. ^_^
