私の日本語and 2017

おはよお！私はヴァジ二とランですよ！生年は元気でした。"Good morning! It's Vazeni Tran! Last year was great!"
I'm still polishing up on my Japanese over break given that I'm taking the 2nd level this semester which covers the last half of the textbook. I'm pretty stoked but also nervous about Japanese and other classes I'm taking. No humanities classes whatsoever. I usually love reading and educating myself on society, history, and such. But now I'm straying from the humanities field to science. I'm still minoring in Psychology (CLA) but I'm really considering and willing to jump into Neuroscience (CST). Perhaps I should just overall be a Biology major.
I can't believe I jumped from initially wanting to major in English, to Sociology, and now to Neuroscience. I wanted to challenge myself and rid myself from reading a lot. I've read a great deal in Psychology however so perhaps I like reading more scientific topics? Who knows, I might just be a picky person. I swear, if I change my major one more time before I graduate college, I must be doomed to become a freelancer of a sort.
People who've known me for awhile knows my creative and artistic background but upon hearing my decisions, they get so shocked. I've honestly shocked myself as well. The older I am, the less inclined I am to pull ideas and inspiration out of my ass and actually CREATE. I'm becoming more logical, missing the math and sciences (weird, right?).
2017 has been a great year overall. I've developed relationships and created new ones. Richard has made me a more open and talkative person though not when it comes to meeting his friends. I'm usually quiet and reserved though I try to stay included. I've two other friends I've kept in touch with that I didn't expect to. I took English 802 with Alice and Andrea and we haven't talked much in those classes (except me and Alice talked extensively outside of classes). I became better friends with Alice before Andrea, who I was pretty intimidated by from how openly opinionated she was in classes. We actually started talking more over the summer via Facebook messenger and Instagram DMs. Then Alice got added into an SMS chat and the Instagram chat and our trio started from there. Furthermore, I've made more friends this semester who I haven't the privilege to hang out outside of classes but I have their numbers and have them on social media and I'm trying to maintain those relationships as well.
My relationship with Richard has made me want to become a more improved version of myself as well. Richard is the type of guy who likes to go above and beyond whether it comes to friends/family or work (he sucks at school). I've pushed myself to become more talkative, to take on new physically intensive hobbies, and to improve my skills in games and work ethic for college. If anything, I'd say Richard is better at me in everything besides getting good grades since he pushes pass mental limitations that make one feel like they can't improve (which can result in procrastination and being lazy). He's going to work on his grades this semester though (he better).
Hopefully 2018 brings more bettering relationships and new friends, new opportunities, and willingness to push myself even further. Happy New Year a day later.
