new year

i don't know about the feeling others have, but often i do not feel any different after the ball drops in times square, and the calender page turns from december and january. it seems often, that january first is simply another day, nothing out of the ordinary - but, this year i feel the monumental quality of the new year. i see a year full of possiblity, hope, beauty and peace...a year that i will delve into fully without restraint, a year marked by so many tremendous events. i have secured a new job on campus, i will be serving as a student assistant for art history methodologies at the undergraduate level, i am applying for internships for the summer in new york, and a myriad of other things. i hope and pray that the new year will bring peace and love to every individual out in the world who seeks it. that is my wish, that is my dream. happy new year to all...and to all a good night.
