So, some big news... Today is my 5 year anniversary. I know, generally that term is associated with excitement, but there is zero excitement associated with the day which I was brain-injured. That tragic day was January 18, 2010. However my parents have associated the date with MLK Jr. day, which technically isn't until tomorrow. Either way, I'm ecstatic about how much I have accomplished in these past 5 years. So, temporary excited moment for myself... YAY!
If anyone feels as though they may be able to add additional excitement, please share. Thanks everyone for being a fabulous support system and for truly making me feel 100% loved and cherished! Here's to even more continued improvements!

Haircut and Friends
Alright, so the very exciting news is that just yesterday I made a catastrophic change to my hair. I officially had a new haircut. Now, this probably doesn't sound very exciting, but I'll post some pictures of my new do- because I lost the majority of the length and it is simply easy to manage and handle.
So here I am with much less hair. I can actually shake my head around and I don't have to worry about the long length getting in the way. I can't even pull it into a little ponytail over my shoulder because there simply isn't enough hair. Yay!
Also, considering that my parents departed on a much needed (and deserved) vacation yesterday, I met up with my four closest friends (technically from high school times) for lunch today in Belmont. It was absolutely fabulous being able to spend time with my friends and see my friend Tracy's new house. It was beautiful and absolutely wonderful being able to spend time with my three favorite friends (Sarah Hogan, Megan Miskelly/Rivera and Tracy Soares/Tennison).
Yay for me and my friends and for being allowed to spend some quality time with one another! I start new classes this next week for Canada College. Yay!! (Creative Writing and Digital Imaging). Let the new semester begin.

2015 Begins!!
Alright, a very quick, and maybe not too exciting (sorry!) update on me. I'm really entirely unaware of who might actually be checking out this blog. (If you actually are checking this blog, hooray! and feel free to comment affirming that I may in fact have a couple of random visitors) I'm guessing basically no one. Oh well. It's still a nice place for me to keep those of you who may be interested about what is going on in my normal life. (As an English major, I am entirely aware of the awkward grammar/punctuation of that past sentence, but I can't actually figure out a better way to state it.)
I've been taking more college courses since having moved back to San Carlos. I've now been enrolled at Canada College (in Woodside, CA) for about 2 years. I've taken some computer classes, a painting class, a drawing class and a digital photography class. The advantage of taking courses voluntarily again, is that considering that I'm individually paying for these courses, I only sign up for classes which excite me. This next semester (Spring 2015) I'm going back to my roots (having been an English major at UC Davis), I'm enrolled in a creative writing English course. Wish me luck with that one because I am still terrible at thinking on the spot and I continually fail miserably at answering open-ended questions. The second course which I have signed up for was actually recommended to me by my digital photography professor because she noticed how much I had enjoyed using Photoshop during her course. The course is called "Digital Imaging", which my parents and I had entirely ignored when we were looking through the course catalog, because frankly it didn't speak to us and I had zero idea what the course was offering. I am entirely looking forward to these new classes and I'll continue to enjoy having ways to spend my week days because I would probably drive myself bananas if I was simply sitting around home with absolutely nothing to do with my time during the week.
My family has been happily growing in the past few years. This means that I now have 2 nieces!! They are adorable and I look forward to seeing them and spending time with them every Sunday. (Amelia and Collette). OK, I'm going to pause there for now and I'll attempt to post on a semi regular basis these days, but no promises. :-)
