Its now well into the new year... And I have so many ideas of what I want to accomplish this year.
And that includes being more productive with my blog.
I have lots of ideas and things I want to share. I want to make a noticeable improvement in my foreign language skills. So I am enrolled in a beginners Spanish class to help me brush up on the basics, and then I'll decide if I am comfortable enough to jump into Spanish 3 or 4 next semester... Or if I need take another refresher class first. I'm still pretty comfortable reading and writing in Spanish. But it seems that when I try to carry a conversation in Spanish verbally, I go brain dead.
I was rather ticked to see a small box I mailed to Mexico show back up, damaged. But the contents were ok, so I'll try to mail them again. Fortunately, that was just a random RAK and not a swap. So no deadlines for me to freak over. This is after a wish I sent to Europe went missing to though, thats very frustrating. Hopefully, the missing wish will turn up also. But other than that, things seem to be coming and going ok.
I've been making TONS of handmade envelopes. Its oddly therapeutic and very addicting. I have a nice little stash going for swapping and pen-paling. Now I just need to finish up the slippers for my Sister. Hopefully they'll fit her comfortably and she'll like the colors.
And tomorrow... SAN FRANCISCO! Yay! I love San Fran so much! Tomorrow we are going to see the Chinese New Year parade and festivities. I'm very excited. But the OAC was not very diligent in planning the trip, so I'm worried I'll only get to see the very beginning of the parade (which means I might miss the Dragon that is supposed to be the highlight of the parade...) I hope I'll get to see it... It turns out they also opened an Angelic Pretty in San Fran, so I'll be going to have a look at that too.
