This textbook was very complicated. Taxes are complicated. I don't really think that it is for me. Also, this is one of the few books I have read this year and it was for school. I have hardly done any reading!

This is what I did this year other than read:
organize my space
cook dinner almost every night
worry
gain weight
hang out with friends
get in shape/lose weight
study
get somewhat depressed at my life
eat delicious food
have a major breakup
move onto a boat
lose weight
host awesome theme parties
organize
get sick of my job for awhile
get a second job for awhile
work all the time for awhile
begin regaining my sense of self
get back in touch with family and friends
get outside! It's so beautiful!
