christmas eve

well, it's been a long time since I've written on here...it's been such a great year and I can't wait for what's to come in 2007.

Isn't it weird how things in the present change how we feel about things that happened in the past? Our perspective on the past constantly changes based on our experiences. At least, that's what I've felt...

While my perspective on the past changes, it can't change what happened or what I can do about it. I can only change how I act or what I do in the future. I think it's problematic to dwell on the past for the reason that you can't do anything about it, but it's still hard to deal with problems or hardships that still hurt.

My goals for 2007 are to live for the present and plan for the future so that I will always be as happy as possible.

Merry Christmas everyone!! Hard to write right now but I'll come back later when there's more time...

end of the year...

Well, it's that time again! I'm about to finish my last fall semester ever! It's been such a great year so far with classes, friends, and tennis of course. I've had to go to some counseling recently, but it hasn't been as bad as I expected. When I found out about it, it sounded worse than it was. I was questioning myself when there really is no reason to do so. I understand why there was a concern, but as long as I am aware what I am doing, I feel like I am under control. I go home in less than a week and I am so excited to spend time with friends and family. I know I had a lot of work to do tennis-wise, but it will be fun work hopefully. Like coach said, this will be my last Christmas break and I should enjoy it. I know I will be playing and conditioning a lot, but I know I will definitely have fun over break. I hope to catch up with the special people in my life and enjoy the time off from school and tennis because the craziness will start up before I know it!
