"And if the world decides to catch up with me, it's a little victory..."

Welcome to 2007. Out with the old in with the new... Or maybe a little bit of stability and status quo for the new year.

2006 was a year of transition for me. It was a year that was in flux from almost the moment it started.
January was packing up my little South Philly apartment and preparing to move to West Philly. I quit my lights of liberty job, and prepared to teach SAT Prep to high schoolers.
February, moving day, adapting to life in West Philly, planning CY projects.
March - April saw me working on two of the largest project I'd ever undertaken: The library rennaissance and the college fair. It also had me frantically searching for jobs.
May - The library project finally ended, and I got my first job. My little brother graduated from college.
June- Was on TRL (looking bored apparently). Two years at CY ended. Ended my first real functional relationship.
July- Terrible month of working at a day care, and getting ready to move again. Had a couple decadent weekends with Danielle in there though where we met a man with sandwiches tatooed on his arms and took fishtown by storm.
August- Moved again this time deeper into West Philly, started working at Mariana Bracetti.
September- December- First year teacher life. Constantly in flux.
December - Got Latina eyed for the Jewish Girl (Elena and i went shopping and i learned that there are clothes that actually look good on me!). Got a PA State ID. Got a philadelphia cell phone number (after a jackass stole my old phone at a party).

With a year of changes behind me, I would like my life to regain some sense of calm. I want to spend this year figuring things out. Getting my act together. I want to be organized. I want the messiness of my life to sort itself out. These aren't new year's resolutions per se. They are mearly my hopes for the upcoming year, along with the hope that we (friends, family, myself) will all be healthy and happy.

Happy new year.
