2012 Recap
So now that 2012 is days away from its end, I'd thought I'd give a little recap on how my year went! So here we go:
Grad School
So surprisingly this year I have survived!! I have a 3.914 GPA and I am doing well right now. Things are starting to get intense as I am going into working on my masters thesis. At the beginning of the year I had no clue as to what I wanted my topic focus to be. First I was interested in distributed cognition ((when learning and development occurs between people)) but not enough to want to conduct a whole research project and write a thesis. Then I was interested in family interactions. Well I still am because I truly believe that development begins within the family but just focusing on family interactions and relationships was too big. So spring 2012 I was enrolled in Chdv 210 which is social development so I used the class to help narrow my topic. It wasn't until early December that I finally decided on a topic that I was interested in. So I'm doing my thesis on sibling relationships and interactions and how it relates to preschoolers emotional problem solving. So if you live in Sacramento or anywhere within driving distance and have more than one child with one child being between 2.5 - 6 and are interested in being a possible participant in my study please contact me thanks. Okay so lets move on to the next topic.
Summer
Summer was actually pretty awesome! I had two parties and I hung out with kiah almost every weekend and I ended my beginning of the year fling. When my end of the year fling ended at first I was sad because whenever you grow close to someone its always hard to see them walk away. But looking back I think about all I had learned from that fling and how better my life has been since it ended. I learned that I need someone who has the same interests as me and who has similar goals in life. Well thats enough about that!
Friends & Family.
So I can honestly say I have great friends! In May, Juanita moved to the east coast to finish school and start a new life. We had a party to say goodbye to her and even though she wasn't in the best of moods, I'm glad we got to have our last time to spend together before she left. This year I became closer to both Kiah and Marie and also hung out with Mukhaye, Precious, Quan, Arisha, and Larasha. I shared great memories with all of them. Family wise I grew closer to some family members and further apart from others but hey.. That process is called growing up
Romance
At the end of August I ended one relationship and from that relationship I learned many things about myself that I needed to change. I am a great girlfriend but sometimes I can do too much that I really don't need to be doing. So when that ended I made a list of all the things I want in my next relationship. I said I wanted someone that liked the same things as I. A guy who isn't going to complain if I said I want to go see a play and who wouldn't mind having movie nights instead of going out every weekend. Well anyways, I met Nathan and although he isn't my boyfriend he has all the qualities I want in a man. He likes the same things as me and even if he doesn't like something he's willing to try it. But anyways, enough bout him.. This year has showed me never to settle
Employment
Basically I like my job now. More money could be better but whatevs.
Anyways that was 2012.
