cleaning my room!

But not doing a very good job. I think it's a little more organized, but it's still a big mess, if that makes any sense. And I haven't even tackled the closet yet. I have serious issues because I have clothes all over my room, I can't seem to get rid of any, and I keep buying more!! Help!

I am taking a break from it right now. I know what a huge task it is, which is probably why I've been putting it off for so long. In fact, I got distracted while cleaning it just now... I just spent the past hour looking through old Christmas/birthday/thank you cards I've collected over the years. And now I'm in a nostalgic mood. It's CRAZY! Especially when you realize for how long you've known people. For example, I found a card written by Naomi way back when we had first period lunch together! I remember we had lunch together, with Tamanna, probably in grade 10, but I forgot it was first period. Anyway, she spelled my name with a "C"... grrr... it's ok, I forgive you :P

I also found a card from Man Yi. Even though we were in high school, some things about a person never change - i.e. in the card Man Yi wrote about owing me money and about food. HAHAHAHA. I don't think she owes me any money at this point (in fact, I think I owe you a little...) but she definitely is always hungry when I'm with her!

One birthday card made me laugh out loud - Vinay & Corinna both drew phospholipid bilayers with my birthdate either acting as the actual phospholipid or a protein trying to pass through the membrane! I tried to take a pic of this just now but it's not turning out too well. OMG pharmacy folk are geeks!

Looking back at these cards & letters reminds me of how much I've forgotten. I guess most of the things aren't important. The things I do remember are the important ones - the most important being that my friends were there through good & bad times. I appreciate them and I probably don't tell them enough. Maybe that will be my 2006 new year's resolution - thank you.
