...How come I suddenly feel really old? And why do I get the feeling I've said this before?

Anyways, this year is marked by being my first time writing as a college student. The past semester was busy and stressful but I liked (most of) my professors and classes and I met some really interesting women at school.

Looking to the future, one of my many resolutions is that I manage my time a lot better so I stop worrying my friends and family ^_^. Either that or I start stressing in a dark closet out of sight, which I'm not too keen on doing.

After missing it for two years in a row, I am finally able to attend Arisia once more - the first convention where I presented a panel ^_^. I will be participating in panels at Arisia this year, but I won't be giving any of my solo presentations since I really just want to enjoy myself this month ^_^. A lot of my friends are going, so it should be a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to it.

As for other conventions, I've already sent in my applications for Anime Boston this year. I've opted to be reasonable and only pick three to submit.

Cosplay plans are finally set. It took us a lot longer this time around. This was the first time when we changed our minds more than once... I wonder if that's a sign of sorts.

We've also begun work on a far more long-term cosplay project, that probably won't be done until AB 2010. Yes, it's that big. Which is precisely why we're starting now so that there won't be a repeat of the past two years ^_^.

Anyways, this year seems like it's off to a good start. School will resume Monday, February 2nd, the day after my birthday, so I have a decent break before I have to get back into the habit of studying again.

That's all for now!
