Dear Year

Dear 2010,
I plan to make you a good year. You're gonna have to be, yknow? I plan to fulfil my drunken new year's resolution, to BE more. And to go on with the vows from last year - BE more, DO more, SEE more.
I'm gonna use you to get out of this dump, this grey city. I'm gonna take the opportunity to leave here for good. Skövde, here I come! And I should have gone to you a long time ago. But it's easy to be wise afterwards, as we say around here. As soon as I can get out of here, the better. All I need to sort out is the finances... well really, I'll live off student finances and the flats there are rent free during the summer, so what I really need to wait for is the official "you got in"-thing. That's what I'll need to sign up for an apartment there. I've tried to get hold of some job nearby there, but it seems as impossible as getting one here. I'm doing what I can to get some other job, I'm applying like, everywhere, but so far no results. Patience is a virtue, they say. Just the one thing, that the closer we get to spring and to summer the harder it'll be to get a job. I'm trying to only apply for temporary jobs but well. There aren't all too many of those. I did find an English teaching job for only this semester that I could apply for, it was only half time but well. I'd probably make more than I do now with my lousy somewhat around 58 hours a month. Yeah, I think I'll send off an application.
Anyway this was a big rant about official stuff. I'll change the subject to something more fun.

Yeah I'm trying to get some more hours at work, I need to scramble up 1,000 crowns to make those synthetic dreads that I really, really wanna get. I was lucky to find this girl in Uddevalla who does both the dreads and puts them in for that price, and it's one of the cheaper I've found, and her stuff looks really awesome when I went through her gallery. Now all I need is to fund it and place an order with her, she said it'd take her a rough two weeks to do it; I could order now but I wanna wait until I can be sure I can pay for it. Money issues suck, man!

Yeah, whatever. I'm determined to change something. I have to. I have to DO something!
2010, I'm gonna make you my best year ever!
Take what you can -give nothing back!
