2008, in review.
Review Questionnairre for 2008
1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
A lotttt. Moved away from my parents, started college, fell in love.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I'm not one for making resolutions, generally.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not this year.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Not this year, thankfully.
5. What countries did you visit?
Stayed in the USA, as usual. =[
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
A better functioning car, more money, more time.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
June 5th I graduated, the entire following week which was pretty essential since it was Beach Week, August 18 Jack and I started dating, August 19 I left for Pitt.
8. What was your biggest achievement of this year?
Graduating though that was an expectation, getting a 3.4 for my first semester.
9. What was your biggest failure?
It was a decent year. I was dumped for the first time which kinda sucked, but I got over that suprisingly fast. I made some mistakes with hook-ups that I wouldn't mind taking back, but they didn't determine too much of anything so it's not a huge deal.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nope
11. What was the best thing you bought?
An education?
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Weird question...um, well Jack quit smoking and partying so much and became more interested in his future which I think definitely merits celebration. My mom moved out of our house when things were getting rough which was strong of her. Sally followed her heart and gave Mike a second chance, risky as it may be, and it worked for her. Everyone else is always good, haha.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Nobody's, really..
14. Where did most of your money go?
School, gas for my car, clothes toward the beginning of the year.

Graduation, the Alexandria trip, Beach Week for reallll, the couple insane parties we had over the summer, Thanksgiving, Girl Talk show, Winter Break 08, etc.
16. What songs will always remind you of 2008?
Any Bob Dylan song, "The General" by Dispatch reminds me of home, TI's "Whatever You Like" will remind me of every single party at Matt's
