I think I should do a very original post about what I have learned this year. There is some value in reviewing what you've done and figuring out if you can improve. Most of what I've learned was covered in the top ten list I posted earlier this month so I'll avoid beating a dead horse and let you refer back to that post for the list of things I have learned this year. Moving on, I am very homesick. I miss being lazy in my own house and having all of my stuff. I am excited to go back to school and get everything moved in to the new residence, but I wish I could have a little time at home before then. I'm not sure what I want to do this summer now. I have three options. I could come to SC, I could stay in Cleveland or I could live at home. Right now, living at home is my top choice. In one week it managed to go from the bottom of the list to the top. It will be my last summer vacation for a while so I'm thinking that I'm running out of time to live at home. I'm not ready to move out and if I go to grad school I won't have to, but I really want to spend some time at home. I have a few months to make this decision. Maybe I'll do a little job hunting in Fremont in those months. I definitely need to make it home more this semester. I think I should call my mom. That might curb the homesickness. I'm probably going to ring in the new year while sleeping. About as exciting as last year's new years eve spent in the car with my cousin and his girlfriend. Oh well, I'll be getting paid tonight so I'm happy. This post was weird; I'm in a weird mood. I need to eat.

Beating dead horses
I tend to do that a lot. I like to have too much of a good thing. It's far better to always be wanting more than to have too much. I just need to realize that. I guess that could be some sort of New Year's resolution. I hate horses.
So in the spirit of beating dead horses I am yet again going to entertain you with a post about "relationships" whoooohooooo! So I've decided that when you start dating someone it feels like you're trying to walk across an icy lake with shoes instead of ice skates. It's tricky to keep your balance. You never know when you're going to make a wrong move and slip and fall. It's that feeling of the impending fall that I'm talking about. It's thrilling. You're kind of scared but in a fun way. The way to know when you have evolved from "dating" to a "relationship" is when you feel that the guy you are with has put out his hand to steady you and keep you on your feet.
That may have been corny, but it's just the way I see things. Someday, I want to write a poem expressing that. Please don't steal my idea.
I started this blog one year ago today. Thanks to guy on the plane to Texas who told me I should start a blog.

I'm wide awake, it's morning
I'm up early for work. It's finals week. I can't complain about my finals. I'm getting stuff done as a always do. Thursday I will drive 12 hours to Hilton Head. I am staying with my cousin to babysit his son for all of break. I will only be in Fremont for about 3 days. It will be weird not to be home. I miss my parents a lot, but they will be in Hilton Head for the first week that I am there. I can't wait.
I think it's time for a top ten list. In light of recent events in my life, here is my list:
Top Ten Signs it's time for Christine to End a Relationship (i hate that word!)
10. If the thought of him cheating on her doesn't bother her at all.
9. She awakens in the night hyperventilating only when she sleeps with him.
8.. The only reason she keeps him is because he's hot
7. She can only make out with him when the lights are off (similar to next one)
6. She's not attracted to the guy and never will be
5. She shudders at the though of physical contact
4. She has better conversations with guy she meets at the bar than with him
3. She won't tell her friends what things are like between them because she knows they would tell him to dump him
2. She starts missing/crying over past boyfriends
1. If she has to lower her standards in any way
Now I just have to keep that list in mind and pay attention to it when I start dating again. Who knows when that will be. I'm in no hurry. I love making lists!
