Year in Review
2008 in Review
1) Where were you when 2008 began?
With my friends, jammed into one large bed at Chris's apartment, where we drank Sara's mom's 25-year old Andre. Champagne does NOT age well.
2) Where will you be when 2008 ends?
At RJ's house (even if the storm continues, I'll walk there!) with Katie and Nolan, drinking something decidedly better than last year. (not hard...)
3) Did you keep your new years resolution for 2008?
The big ones, at least.
4) Do you have a new years resolution for 2009?
Yes. Katie and I are calling it "The Boston Project". It's all inclusive. Also
5) Did you fall in love in 2008?
Yes, with some amazing friends who made me appreciate senior year more than I ever knew was possible.
6) Did you make any new friends in 2008?
Definitely. It was a year of reaching out, especially on campus, and realizing what great people I had around me without even trying.
7) What was your favorite month of 2008?
May. Nonstop good times.
8) How many different states did you travel to in 2008?
Not sure, but definitely went to two new states; California (to see Rachel and the Pacific!) and Michigan (to win a campaign)
9) What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2008?
Mamma Mia is right up there... it's been a long year though, and a surprising amount of movies came to the Tower Theater, so I'm not sure. I can tell you what it wasn't- Fool's Gold.
10) What was your favorite song from 2008?
I'm Yours- Jason Mraz. Overplayed, so what. Thanks Kat, for giving me the CD- Katie and I listened to it four times yesterday.
11) What was your favorite show in 2008?
Looooooost! I loved watching it with Anju. Now, though, I'm a "House" convert.
12) What was your proudest moment of 2008?
Having my speech get the most votes for graduation and being able to deliver it in front of Mom, Dad, and Bean.
13) If you could go back in time to any moment of 2008 and change something, what would it be?
I would sleep less and party more. And read the book that was lying on my floor so I would actually know the word "paeans" when it came up on Text Twist so Anju and I wouldn't lose when we were at 980,000 points.
14) What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Met every single Democratic Presidential hopeful, from Obama to Gravel.
15) What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Turning down a job in the hope of something better, and then having that perfect second chance land in my lap.
16) What was your biggest failure?
Hillary losing the nomination. Love the president-elect, but it's not at all the same to me.
17) What was the best thing you bought?
A new digital camera; now I have fabulous pictures to remember the year by.
18) Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier, I think.
ii. thinner or fatter? A little less thin, but that's what the new year is for, right?
iii. richer or poorer? Richer, but now unemployed, so we'll see how long that lasts.
19) What do you wish you'd done more of?
Snuggling with my friends, writing for the paper, applying for scholarships.
20) What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worrying about things and following the rules. Better to just make my own path, I think.
21) What was the best book you read?
A lot of Agatha Christie books- I never remember the endings, so I can read them over and over.
22) What kept you sane?
Text messaging. I don't know how I would have survived this year without my friends connected to me regardless of if we were in class, on a bus, or waiting for our laundry to finish drying.
23) What political issue stirred you the most?
The democratic primary and the role of women in this year's election. Thanks for nothing, Sarah Palin.
24) Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008:
Accept the things you cannot change, have the courage to change the things you can, and have the wisdom to know the difference. Easy to say, harder to accept.
