A New Year... three weeks ago
So, I guess I've been remiss in not giving a wrap-up of 2007. Here goes.
2007 was a pretty good year for me. I stopped working overnights at Sun Country and switched to the day shift at the end of April, which is probably the most significant moment of 2007. I experienced a marked increase in happiness as a result of this, and also gained the opportunity to work with some really awesome people. I once again really look forward to going into work every morning. I also got a promotion, so I now get to boss people around here and there.
I bought a car, which most of you know. I love it, even though it very occasionally irritates me.
My friend Nick and I flew down to Orlando for a day in February to get out of the cold, so I got to go to DisneyWorld for the first time. Better late than never.
I went to Alaska with Rebecca in August. It was one of the best vacations I've ever had (there's only one other that competes with it), and I managed to catch the biggest fish I've ever caught. She and I went to Washington, D.C. a couple weeks afterward for the weekend.
Rebecca and I started going out on the 14th of July, and broke up on December 17th.
I discovered my love for country music on a weekend trip up to the Mohs' family cabin in September.
All in all, 2007 was solid. It had its downsides, but in general, it was a good year. 2008 has started out in less-than-spectacular fashion, but I trust that it will improve. 2008 is going to be a year of change; I've already started cutting out a lot of the unhealthy things in my life, and physically feel good. I'm working on improving my mental mood, which will require a good deal of effort, but I am up to the challenge.
I still intend to become a history teacher, however I also accept that it may be a circuitous route bringing my to that goal. I applied for a job with the Federal Air Marshal Service last week, and am also considering enlisting in the Army with the goal of becoming an AH-6 Little Bird assault helicopter pilot with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. I anticipate things to become very different in the next year.
To those of you who have stuck around, I appreciate it. I have not been the friend to many of you that I should have been; I am truly indebted to you. There are a number of people I have neglected and have fallen out of friendship with, and I hope to rebuild some of those relationships.
Here's to a new year.
