::Happy New Year. The ball dropped on Times Square, the hourly 'Happy New Year' has commenced across the global time zones, and it is 2004.
Happy New Year. It's a leap year, a year of possibilites. A year of Summer Olympics, a year of presidential elections. Hopefully, a year I leave for Germany.
Happy New Year. 2003 is over. Finally. Halfway through the school year. The end of last year. Time to start erasing 'O3 every time one has to write the date, and mistakenly writes 1/1/03. 2003 will slowly fade away, never to be seen again. Never to hold the possibilities it had before.
Happy New Year.
Now what?::

quote:"I remember sitting in my car in the parking lot, overwhelmed with a single thought: That's what I want for my life: To be caught up in the sweep of history. To be in the center of things. To be making a difference. To be at the heart of the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil. My heart was almost breaking at the thought of a life of insignificance."
