2024 is IT!

I’m feeling good going into 2024. I feel I’m entering the year in high spirits, which is nice. I haven’t felt this hopeful since 2021, when I knew I was going to leave Thailand and move to Mongolia- it’s definitely the feeling of something new coming that gives me this feeling. Change makes me feel alive, I can’t imagine how some people fear it.

Before the winter break, I learned I was getting a promotion at work, which comes with a raise. I mean, it’s nothing life changing, but a little more cash per paycheck is never a bad thing! Better than none. I also will start my second semester of grad school next week. Even though I am only taking 1 class a semester as I work full time, it helps me feel accomplished, and I feel like I’m growing and bettering myself. I got an A in the class I took in the fall, which I’m happy about, because the last college class I took was in Spring 2011! haha.

I feel like backpacking around Central America this summer, finishing up back in Colombia. But a version of backpacking in your 30s. I want to stay in private rooms and fly between countries, not take a damn bus lol. I would also like to visit my host family in Hungary so many I will do that!

My mom is putting away all the Christmas decorations today. Sad when that happens by if the season lasted all year, it wouldn’t be as special. Dingo is on my bed. I love him!

I gotta get back to work now, 2 hours and 2 mins left! Happy New Year
