Okay, since at least 4 other people on my friends list did this, here I go!
WINTER 08:
Good
-Began working in the office at 2 different American Houses
-4 year anniversary with Ken
Bad
-Had the disturbing but humorous freak out in the middle of Japanese class.
SPRING 08:
-Epic party at Anime Central
-Graduated with a Bachelor's in Linguistics
Bad
-Looking back, should have spent more time studying Japanese
SUMMER 08:
Good
-Amazing trip to Toronto to see Christina and co.
-Evil Dead: The Musical
Bad
-Drifted apart from some friends
-Horrible disappointment with coaching
FALL 08:
Good
-Kat came to visit <3
-Discovered my love for American Apparel
-Hosted the most successful Live Action Mario party so far.
-Got an AWESOME new job in Marketing.
Bad
-A TON of car trouble
Goals for 2009
1. Train in skating again - which includes the following
a. Pass my Novice MIF by April.
b. Pass Intermediate Freestyle by May.
c. Compete at least once this year.
d. Pass Junior MIF by December.
2. Go to Japan again with Kat
3. Advance my career even more
4. Keep the apartment cleaner
5. Talk to my parents more
6. Take a vacation with Ken
I'm also promising myself not to look back as much as I do right now. When I think about skating, I always think "I used to be able to do ______". And I was so shell shocked from what happened with the Mt. Clemen's coaching job that I haven't even able to think about skating. Now, I have the time and the money to dedicate myself to skating again. I will not think about what I used to do. I will focus on what I can do, and what I want to do. I'm not going to let the fact that I'm older, and that I quit five years ago. I'm going to bust my ass, just like I love doing.
I'm going to be aggressive at work. I'm going to be aggressive with skating. This year I will reclaim my identity that I feel like I lost several years ago.
