Happy New Year

I was not in control the last two days of 2006. I was alone (self imposed), holed up in my boyfriend's comfortable apartment while he was away. Despite the luxe surroundings, I did not love being here. First of all, I wish he was here. And when he is not here, I just don't feel good being here. I don't have nearly all of my things here that make it my home. Rightfully so I guess since it is not my home. I spend enough time here but I don't like lugging clothes, books, laptops, and papers here. I've even thought about bringing my laser printer over to work on my applications. It's not my boyfriend's fault I guess. If I liked my own apartment more, I would stay there and work out of that one. What am I complaining about anyway? Probably that I don't have a place of my own that I can call my own, that I'm proud of and can invest in (emotionally and financially).

So, I will take control in 2007. Unfortunately, there are several things that I can't control: business school acceptance, my boyfriend's reaction to things, the demands of my work. It doesn't sound very promising, does it?

Doesn't matter. I will make it work. Wish me luck.
