Out with the old and in with the new year/decade
So yeah, 2009 was a big year:
January:
-Quit the Bridal Shop
-Got a new job at the Bone and Joint Clinic
February/March:
-Got a car and a loan
-Had my first "good" day in a long, long time, i.e., the first day I hadn't thought about committing suicide, for almost a year and a half
April:
-Was hired as a zombie movie extra
-Got sick as hell and was sent to the hospital
-Lost my life-long dream of working in the movies
-Had the most depressing Easter ever and could NOT get my hair clean because of movie hair crap
-Relapsed into depression
May:
-Began the epic battle of getting my worker's comp case acknowledge by the movie people
-Had a very lonely birthday that was saved by the awesomeness of Mark and "UP"
June:
-Got to know the local Grad Students and hung out with them all summer; felt like a college student for the first time in my life and I wasn't even in college
-Went jaundiced and had to do under-the-radar testing in order the bypass the cost
-Decided to get a boyfriend, joined OKCupid, and met Chris
July:
-Met Chris in person
-Got hired onto the Bone and Joint officially, therefore getting insurance and vacation pay
-Won my worker's comp case and met Catherine's dad for the first time
-Started dating Chris and had a sixteen-hour long first date
August:
-Began going digital at the B & J and thus began working insane overtime hours (90 total)
-Began cosplaying for Dragon*Con
-Found out I had to have surgery on my eye
September:
-Went to Dragon*Con
-Returned to work and booked the cruise
October:
-Fell in love
November:
-Had surgery on my eye (again) and lost most of my savings
-Stopped having to work the insane overtime hours
-Learned to be happy again
December:
-Shared my first Christmas while dating someone
-Got my first piece of real jewelry
-Job went to crap again
Hear's to hoping 2010 has fewer bumps but is just as full. This year's resolution is going back to school. WOOT!
As for the decade:
I graduated from junior high, graduated from high school, went to college, majored in art, got my first boyfriend, dumped my first boyfriend, met the best friends of my life, studied abroad, missed my best friend's wedding, missed my parents' divorce, majored in English, had a mental break down, went suicidal, was "committed," dropped out of college, moved to Baton Rouge, worked the worst job ever, found my first "real" job, regained myself and my pride, found my first "real" love, kept said first love, and decided that I have no idea of what I'm going to do with myself for the next ten years.
Some interesting things to note: Discovered cons, fandoms, anime, and Harry Potter all within ten years. I've been friends with Danielle for OVER ten years. I've done almost all of my traveling within the past ten years. Almost all of the specialized knowledge I've gained has been acquired within these past ten years. Scary.
