i have changed in many ways since last year, & am still continuing to change.

some of the physical differences include:

• my hair is now blonde instead of that awful redish-brownish-blonde-streaks color.
• i weigh 5lbs less.
• i am healthier & in better physical shape.
• i'm not a vegetarian anymore.
• i've been off soda pop for 18 months now vs 6 months.
• i've been studying russian for 3 1/2 semester now, rather than just 1 1/2.
• i'll be getting my associates degree at the end of this semester.

some of the more mental & spiritual differences include:

• i lived in china for 4 months (having gained all the experience & knowledge that comes with it).
• i recognize the importance of being a member of this church & what it means to have an eternal companion 10x more than i used to.
• i'm a lot less stubborn than i was last year.
• there are some large changes i've experienced mentally & spiritually since last year that i can't necessarily express to you in words.  if you know me, you'll know i've changed.

well, there ya go folks.
