10 of the most amazing memories from this year
1. London! Best Weekend of my LIFE! I saw so much and learned so much. I enjoyed every moment, except possibly the hot sketch hostel. But that was SO worth it.
2. New Years 2010. I actually did something and was awake at midnight (crazy, I know). That was a memory that kept be going at some rough times, one of the best of the year.
3. Working in the lab on research: it was more than just a feeling of importance. I learned so many interesting things about lab technique and the immune system and life in general. And I've made a few friends, too!
4. My zany biology professors. There was Dr. Bohannanananananan, who was a little nutty and looked like a cabybara, Milo, who dressed up like a urine stirring wizard and a Hawaiian vacationer, and Dr. Spalding, the fox from Nova Scotia. I liked them all, in their own way.
5. Riding on the Tea Cups with Sarah at Disney World. I laughed SOO hard. And pretty much every other moment from Disney World and that vacation. I think my face muscles may have gotten stronger from laughing so hard.
6. The first radio show Aarushi and I had. We read off of scripts! It was embarrasing but funny. Also, every radio show we do. Hilarious stuff.
7. Living in an apartment. I like it a lot. I went to the house very little (except right now, I am at home for laundry purposes).
8. The Rose Lights concerts! They were so good! My friends make me very proud.
9. Excelling in school even under stress. It is/was such a good feeling to know that I was trying! And I even made time to watch TV shows (a new-found hobby).
10. Running like 8/9 miles. I stopped doing that but should start again. I can't believe I did it!

5 things that I will have a better outlook on in 2011
1. Romance.
2. My mother.
3. People around me.
4. Self confidence
5. Toughing it out--that needs to happen more!
