Well, I did this for 2007, so i thought i would for 2008.
Memories of 2008:
I still have my job at Hallmark.
I graduated from high school and now attend UC
I havent gotten a ticket or anything (driving)
I am an adult.
I am planning a study abroad trip
I am writing a short novel whatever thing. (see one tree hill)
I have made amends, new friends, and have tried to keep in touch with high school friends
Everyone told me its hard to keep in touch.. i didnt believe them. now i do. its really hard when one of your best friends lives in north carolina.
More Memories:
I got to vote! -- with the results i was .. upset? i think thats as far as i can go on this blog.
I made the dean's list my first quarter at UC.
I kept my 2008 resolution for most of the year.
anyway,
happy new year!

Christmas survey thing
