New Year's Resolutions?

well, its not the new year, but it does feel like the start of something new. after lots of debate, my roommates convinced me that i suck for not ever writing in my blog and that now that we will all be millions of miles away from each other, it's my duty as a good friend and ex-507 Elmer to update it. so thats my end of year/graduation resolution. i've never kept a new years resolution ever though, so we'll see how this one goes.
so, i was just in Illinois visiting and everytime someone asked me where i was from i had to remind myself that i dont go to school in Ann Arbor anymore, which has been my standard answer for the past 4 years. now i have to mumble something about how i just graduated, yet have no definite plans for "The Future." i feel like the future has taken on a life of its own and therefore deserves to be capitalized. anyway, graduation was surreal (all I have to say is thank god for campus corner) and i cant think of a better way to go than sitting next to five of the most amazing people i know while some alumnus droned on about how we are "the net generation." right. everything has been a whirlwind since finals--graduation came and went, sarah left for panama, shirley left for canada, vania started her new job, asier is in england, and so many other people have also somehow disappeared off the face of the earth (and by earth I mean Ann Arbor). this is my first summer in 4 years that I havent fled the country the day after finals, and i have to say summer in A2 is not all its cracked up to be. the campus is dead, my house is being inhabited by 2 new subletters, and i feel a little displaced. but its ok, because within the next few weeks i will know what i'm doing with myself, at least in the immediate future (read: the next year) so that will give me a little peace of mind.
ok thats it for now, i know i promised to update my blog but if i dont have anything interesting to write about, there's no point in babbling :)
