Every Winter begins with 1 very big day that encompasses 2 events. First its my birthday (this year my 22nd), and secondly my birthday is the day of my car wreck which now happened 3 years ago. That being the case it's a big time of reflection for me and thankfulness for my being here and in such a wonderful condition. When I was home this winter break and visiting with friends I got so many questions, often asked with concern, about how I am doing. I don't really think about it but many of you at home have only seen me sporadically since my car wreck and still worry about how I'm healing.
Well, to answer those concerns I'm doing incredibly. I have no physical problems other than sore muscles after I work out (which is often and with much rigor), I don't have any problem with cars or driving, I am just as active as I was before my wreck, and I am living a life that is even greater than that which I was living before.
I am so incredibly fortunate and thankful for where I am now and how well I'm doing. And to think that it was merely 2 years ago today we all barely knew if I was going to make it after they performed surgery on that silly ol' blood clot that had formed in my brain. Many thanks to those of you who were there and dealt with that icky situation and thank goodness for a number of doctors whose skill kept me alive and allowed me to continue to function today.
And as for that life I'm living, my final Winter Quarter at UCSD has now begun and I'm still not quite sure about what classes I really want to stick with.
So far I'm definitely taking Intro to Contemporary Dance, Politics of European Integration, and I'm doing independent research on the "social dynamics of innovative communities", specifically doing research to outline the economic, political, social, and research efforts in stem cell research and algae for biofuels. I might take a class on the Literature of Europe (talk about broad) but I'm thinking I may take it easy with 3 classes this quarter. Then again, I'm only in college a little while longer and I want to get the most out of it while I'm here!
I hope each of your time passing into 2010 was spent merrily and best of luck in fulfilling those new years resolutions as time wears on!
