Sitting here on my couch as the seconds of 2008 expire has gotten me thinking. Oh by the way, 2008 will have one extra second added to the end of it for scientific reasons which I do not understand. If you are going to count the last 10 seconds be sure to start at 11:59:51.
2008 was an interesting year. It was a year that had some things I’m glad to be over with (college). It had for me what semmed like THE landmark birthday so far (23). I think the reason 23 was so big for me is that it is the true adult birthday for me because now I’m looking for a career not just a job. The summer of ‘08 will be the one I remember as my first summer with sports. I was always a Cubs fan but I never followed stats until ‘08. There was medical news both good and bad, both in and outside of the family. I found this year a group of non-pagans that would let me worship with them as a pagan. I have found my religious society home. 
Also, the election in 2008 helped me find myself politically. I’ve found out what I believe in terms of government and running the state. And boy, there was a lot of politics news all over the place in ‘08. Most recently our glorious Governor of Illinois.
In short 2008 was a year of jubilance, enjoyment, fun, sadness, difficulty, struggles, and tribulations. It was a strange year on many fronts. It had it’s difficulties but overall it was pretty good I hope everyone enjoyed 2008~
As for 2009: There are some goals to be had. Here are my goals for 2009. Some of them are pretty obvious but one of them is just out of desperation to get it done and out of my brain. This book i’ve been writing, it’s been writing too slowly time to speed it up.
- One Chapter of Sol’s Conflict finished per week.
- Find a job for some reliable income.
- Move out and start living on my own.
Those are my three big goals, and they all seem very manageable
Well, everyone, I hope you enjoyed ‘08 and I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2009!
