Well if I had to sum 2008 in one word, it would probably be the same word I used to describe 2006 and 2007: transition. Each of the past three years have been pretty heavy with transition, especially socially, academically, and professionally.
While 2006 was a pretty rough year for me socially, and 2007 was a rough year academically, 2008 has been a great year, especially professionally. Again, it was an even year that rocked. I graduated BGSU in May after a spectacular final semester (got to meet a lot of new people!). I sent a good portion of my summer getting reacquainted with an old friend of mine (World of Warcraft, that is). And of course, I eventually landed a great job in September...
Which brings me to today. In reality, 2008 has been a pretty simple year: graduate and get a job, but these two things represent the culmination of my life up to this point. I went to school to get a good job that will allow me to support myself, and I have accomplished this. With a great job secured, I'm at a pretty good point to make 2009 rock: I intend to pay off my car, get financially healthy and stable, then draw up plans to move out on my own - and that'll be the big event of the year, no doubt.
I'm also making a few lifestyle changes - alterations to my daily routine, the way I schedule my calendar out, and monthly priorities in general - that has already made an impact on how I feel from day to day... certainly a positive turn of events for me.
Anyhow, I'm going into 2009 with high spirits and a hugely positive attitude... and I intend to keep it that way all year long. See you in the new year.
