Two Weeks Into the New Year

I think the first two weeks of the year went by both quickly and slowly. I've been deprived of sleep, studying my butt off, and kind of just lying around. Nothing's changed...at all. I'm still the lazy, goofy, curious girl I was December 31st, 2011. But so far into the year, I guess I could note a positive and a negative.

I painted my room. It went from this...boring light blue, to yellow and purple. (When most people hear the color choice, they cringe. But trust me, the combination is beautiful.) I also got a new bed set, thanks to my mother. It's purple as well. My favorite color ever. 

It felt good changing up my room. I had posted a status on Facebook just before we started painting my walls: New year, new room. And it felt true, once we were finished. There were so many negative feelings I associated with those light blue walls. Now they're hidden below the purple and I can almost start fresh. 

Another plus, I'm currently writing a story and I feel good about this one. Most of my personal writing projects go to waste, as I toss them aside constantly. But this one, I refuse to give up on. There are so many elements that I have to sort out. It involves a lot of my thinking and I love it. So, maybe for once, I'll finish a full novel. (Obviously I can't expect to finish one in a year.) 

And the only negative I'm willing to share: 

I took my geometry midterm on Friday. As I have an A in that class, I'm still afraid that my grade will drop to a B from that midterm... Doesn't seem like too big a deal. But I'm striving for straight A's. All next week, I'll be taking exams for everyone of my other classes (in which I have all A's in). I'm hoping that I keep them A's. 

That's been my year so far. I'm just hoping for a stable rest of the year. Though that won't happen because Life wouldn't allow that. Best of luck to everyone else.
