year in review meme
Hey! Sorry I haven't updated. Was really busy for 2 days after I got home - shopping with my mom and stuff. And then I got sick. Like, throwing up sick. Not cool. I'm better now though.
Also, I got an iPod video! :-D It's 30gb. The color screen is like... whoa.
I have 3 of my 4 final grades in. A, A-, and B+. I'm just waiting for the Policies final grade. The social work office is closed until after the New Year now, so I'll have to wait. Grrr. I also have to wait to find out if I pass or fail my internship for the semester. I'm expecting to pass.
So anyways, here's a year-end meme thing that I stole from alias-jems.
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
