1. I want to develop my relationship with God even more. Work on giving Him more and more control over my life.
2. I want to grow ever closer to Jad, strengthen our bond, fall more and more in love with him, and continue to have amazing fun! I also want to spend more US time.
3. I want to continue to do well in college and work better at the balance between hanging with my friends and school work, trying not to let either suffer.
4. I want to try to get back into community service. I really miss getting my hands dirty and helping people.
5. I want to grow closer to my friends and family, building lasting relations with them.
6. Turn 21...don't think that'll be too hard. haha.
Some of my more unrealistic goals:
1. Learn French
2. Learn guitar
3. Learn to cook
4. Finally lose the weight I've been wanting to get off
I have a lot of hope for 2009. I'm looking forward to a fun year filled with lots of crazy adventures with my amazing friends!

My acting debut....a dream!
Haha so last night I had a pretty fun dream!
It started off with me going to work with Jad today. He's an actor and is playing a soldier in the new WWII HBO serioes "The Pacific." So I went to work with him and he's carted off to go get changed and I'm just hanging around on set admiring the props when I hear Jad's excited voice "My girlfriend! She's over there!". Next I know I'm being scrutinized by this small redheaded friendly woman, who after giving me the once over smiles and tells me that "I'm perfect, you're lovely and most importantly you're the right height!" She then asks me how I feel about falling on one of those puffy air things....terror.
My friends know that I'm afraid of falling, haha so I was also very skeptical in my dream. I told her that I could try. So she puts me in this padded suit and I'm fearing the worst, like she wants me to jump off a building or something. But as I'm standing there, she comes up to me and pushes me (while I'm standing on the ground), and I fall into the poofy thing. LOL I was just supposed to fall on my back for a punching scene.
Fears aside I agreed to do the scene. So as we're walking she's flipping through their wardrobe catalog of 40's things and she stops on a little khaki sailor outfit with a REALLY short skirt. haha I do everything I can to dissuade the woman that it would look horrible on me, but she tells me that we'll see what the head seamstress would think.
We duck our heads into this little shop, and a woman my height ( a rare thing in this dream 'cause every other woman is really short!), comes up to me from behind and makes me square my shoulders and the scrutinizing game begins anew. After much girly talk a 40's elegant cocktail dress is chosen and I'm shipped off to hair and make up where I get my 40's haircut.
As I'm walking back to set they're describing the scene to me and I can visualize it in my head. I'm in my evening dress and it's pouring rain, I get into a huge fight outside with my jerk of a boyfriend and he hits me....I fall over and twist my ankle as my heel slips out from under me (I knew those things were evil). As I'm sitting there in the rain trying not to cry, to steal from my now "ex" the satisfaction, arms wrap around my shoulders and an "American" soldier asks me if I'm alright. He then proceeds to teach my "ex" some manners, and then an illustrious love story happens between my character and the American soldier.
They ask me what I think of the scene, and while yes it sounds a little cliche, haha I told them I can do it and that I know the perfect "soldier". LOL so that's how I help Jad get his first big role...
The dream was going to continue but my alarm woke me up....sadness! But it was a really fun dream!
