Rather a lot? I mean, I'd never lived through 2007 before.
# Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

August 29th was the day I moved into Bryn Mawr. :)

College.

# What song will always remind you of 2007?
Up In Our Bedroom After the War by Stars. I can't listen to it any more because it cannot compare to when they sang it at the concert. I cried.
# Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Maybe both? But probably overall happier. I got a lot of things I wanted and needed.

iii. richer or poorer? So much poorer.

Uselessness.
# How will you be spending Christmas?
