First Laptop

in contradistinction to my vlog on the topic from yesterday, this will absolutely be an introspective end of the year blog post. this year was marked by going back to school, vlogging, finally starting a regularly updated blog, not going to hong kong, and... oh yeah, moving across the entire country. i was unemployed for most of the year, which was freeing, enjoyable, and miserable all at the same time. i maintained a 4.0 gpa for the duration of the year, which is a first for me. i did a lot of stuff. but at the same time, here at the end of another year, i feel like i haven't accomplished much.

perhaps it's just my nature to de-emphasize my own accomplishments, or to not see the positive side of some things [especially myself], which is decidedly a character flaw. next year, i hope to be more positive, engaged in the communities i participate in, participating in more communities i've been neglecting or avoiding [a.k.a. making friends locally] and many other things. one of which is that i'd like to talk to my sister more, and that i'd like to start making music again. at least more consistently. consistency in general is probably my main 'resolution' for the new year. happy eleven to you all, may God bless you this year.
