Ok. I've been busy. This is my first night surfing the internet at my leisure in weeks. I've been meaning to write about this since January 1st, 2009.

So this past New Year's was the best of my life. And the countdown was probably one of the most memorable, powerful, inspirational 5 minutes of my life. So I was dancing to my heart's desire, loving Armin van Buuren, enjoying the music and the people and the positivity around me. Then I hear Obama's powerful voice penetrate through my mind and body: "TONIGHT, IT BELONGS TO YOU." I could have cried at that moment. Looking back on that moment now (sober, by the way), I almost want to cry. They repeated that line several times throughout the countdown. The actual line is: "But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you." It was from his victory speech in Chicago on November 4th, 2008, and there are no words that would have been more perfect for the occasion. Besides having campaigned for him and his victory really feeling like my victory, it was the night of New Year's Eve, and I was at a massive party with 50,000 other young people who have their whole lives ahead of them. Tonight really did belong to us.

Then I realized something. The 2008-2009 New Year will probably be the most important New Year in my life. 2008 was the historic Presidential race. And 2009 will be the beginning of the historic Presidency. In his one week in office, I am more proud of him than I have ever been. He is not letting America down. I am sublimely happy that he is living up to his word. This is history, baby. And we're living it.

Watch this video. It gives me chills. You only need to watch the first half to understand my amazement.



One of my close friends voiced their concern of my "morals." When she said she worried about my "morals," I honestly didn't know what she was talking about. At first, I thought "sex?" But no, she said raving. Before I look up the definition of morals, I define morals as your conscience and how you choose to treat others. A moral person is a good person, and an immoral person is a bad one. I think I am a freaking good person. If there is a heaven, I'm getting in. My personal life choices and what I choose to do with my own body does not make me an immoral person. Ok, dictionary.com's definition of morals: of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical. I guess it depends on what you and I consider to be right or wrong. Raving in and of itself is not wrong at all, it's just not meant for everybody. As for the rolling, I can't see how that is wrong either. It is illegal, yes. Dangerous, it can be. Artificial, yes. But wrong? No. I don't see how it is much different (in theory anyway) from alcohol. I know you read my blog, and it's something I wanted to address in my blog, so that is why I am not telling you this personally. You specifically said morals, and I am telling you, my morals are fine.

To all my friends and family who are concerned for my safety, I truly appreciate your concern. Raving is not adversely affecting my life. I am still Jenny. I am still as responsible as ever; I've even been studying for the MCAT more. I just do something occasionally for fun that's unconventional. Occasionally is the opportune word. I'm seriously not raving again until March.

Since it's January, I suppose it's time to check on my resolutions of last year. Oh dear.

1. Lose 20 pounds. Nope, didn't happen. But I didn't gain any weight either. Eek.

2. Graduate with at least a 3.5. WOOT! Go Jenny. I actually graduated with a UC GPA of 3.541 (doesn't include my 3.9 GPA from UNLV)! Barely made it, but I made it!

3. Get at least a 3.5 in my remaining Bio Classes. I got a 3.395. But hey, that's not bad! I don't think, anyway. That was my first time calculating that since I graduated...well ever.

4. Pass the CBEST. Not applicable.

I don't think I'll make resolutions this year. Because they're so damn obvious in my life right now. Study for the MCAT. Kill the MCAT. And maybe become a lead tutor at work, which is just a raise. Whatevs. No resolutions this year. Just be bomb diggity.
