In the beginning of 2008...
Did you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: Yes.
How old were you?: Nineteen.
What was your outlook on the world?: Mixed, sort of. I felt fairly capable.
How were you doing at school/your job?: I didn't have a job, and school was going all right.
What did you most look forward to?: Hmm. Weekends. The summer. Fun events.
Did you make New Year's Resolutions?: Nope.
What was your biggest worry?: Not doing well enough in my classes.
Who was/were your best friend(s)?: Nate, Ashlie, Shaza, Jess.
What did you do with your spare time?: ...What spare time?!
What did you do for fun? Chatted with people, did my homework? Spent time with Nate, watched movies, had a lot of lunch dates with friends.
In the middle of 2008-- the summer!
Did you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?: Yes.
Had your outlook on the world changed?: Not tremendously. I think I was a bit more optimistic.
What did you spend your summer doing?: Volunteering at the hospital and lab, taking biochem, cooking, living two doors down from Nate, going home every other weekend, talking to Jess on the phone nonstop.
Did you get tan?: I barely got even freckly.
Who'd you hang out with, mainly?: Nate. Not many people were around Ann Arbor in the summer.
Did you go visit anywhere?: I'm having a hard time remembering for some reason, but I really don't think I did.
What was your biggest worry?: That I wouldn't get into med school.
What was the most fun event that happened?: Not really a single event, I guess. I just really liked having my own room and cooking every day and being able to watch as much Lost as I wanted after getting back from volunteering. I really enjoyed not having to study for the second half of the summer.
And as the year draws to an end...
Still got a significant other? Indeed!
How old are you?: Twenty.
What major changes have happened since the year began? I feel more responsible and independent, and I've definitely become more outgoing. All good things, I think.
Is your life any different from when it started this year?: Yeah. Being an RA has changed some things. And I'm more confident about school, too.
What thing that happened stands out in your mind?: Becoming an RA and all that goes along with it. I know it sounds stupid, but it really has changed a lot for me. I'm really into it.
How have you changed?: I'm much more assertive than I used to be. And my hair is shorter. :p
What was the most embarrassing moment?: Hah. Probably the one between Colin and me a couple weeks ago. But even that wasn't too bad.
Are you happy with how the year went?: Overall, I'd have to say yes.
What thing would you change if you could?: I would've studied harder.
For 2009...
What do you plan to not do that you did this year?: Get cocky about classes.
Do you think it'll be better than this year? Each year always seems a bit better than the year before.
Do you think it'll be WORSE than this year?: Eh. No, probably not.
What do you plan to do next year?: Take the MCAT, have a job that actually pays, and grow even more.
What are your pre-New Year's resolutions?: I don't really make any.
Who are you spending New Year's Eve with?: Nate and his gang. And then just Nate.
