Sunday, December 31, 2006

I finished most of the world in the last two days, and all I have left to do are a few small countries in Latin America, Africa, and the Balkans, as well as the -stans, and the Philippines. Plus I have to put all the seals on the countries that have them. Then I am done. My world looks really nice.

Anyways, my last couple of days were unmomentous. Yesterday I really did nothing because I could not go anywhere, and today, the only place I went was church, and that was a big fiesta, and by fiesta I mean siesta because I had my favorite person. I really hope he goes far away, but he kisses the bishop's ass so much that he'll stay near to us so that he can come and bother us whenever he wants.

I figure, since there's an hour left in the old year, I should steal Susie's blog survey and do it myself.

1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before? Really commit to myself, philosophically, personally, academically, etc.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't remember last year's. This year's is to get straight A's.
