I’m having a most relaxing Saturday morning drinking coffee and chillin’ with the fam…maybe later I’ll post a deeper entry. We’ll see. Anyways, survey time!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Worked a regular 8-5 corporate-type job…weird and great experience.
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions for 2008? Will you make more for 2009?
I don’t know if I’ve EVER made New Year’s resolution.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Um…no. What’s weird is to think that in a few years that’s all gonna change…everyone’s getting married, eeek.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No.
5. What countries did you visit?
Um…does Texas count? It’s sorta like another country!
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
I honestly can’t think of anything in 2008 that was lacking. Is that bad? Maybe more discipline. That’s never a bad thing.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Oh boy…too many to think of. Spring break awesomeness in Sarasota. Hiking in the Panhandle with Rob. Two of my top moments from a year full of ’em.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting my first job offer. And becoming more like Christ. Not in that order.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Mmm…can’t think of anything groundshaking, but I wish I could spend quality time with all my friends all the time…it’s something I’ve come to realize just isn’t possible though…
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Not really. I’ve been remarkably healthy this year!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Um…my new laptop? That was actually near the end of last year, but I think it still counts. Can’t think of any other big purchases I made.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My whole family, just for being awesome.
13. Whose behavior made you mad and ill-willed?
It’s hard to think of any and even if I could…would I write it here? No.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Haha, food? Yeah, probably food. Oh, and car.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Hangin out with friends this last year of college, ahhhh!
16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
Stealing from Kady…”Low”…I got addicted to that song this year. And “Violet Hill”/”Viva la Vida” by Coldplay..
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: happier or sadder?
Mmm…probably both actually. Happier because this past year has just been awesome and I have a job to look forward to. Sadder because I know I’ll be leaving basically everyone I know behind when I do start my job.
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Prayer, probably. I could always do more of that.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Dwelling on what cannot be. Thinking about the future when I could be living in the present. Very vague responses I know…;)
20. How did you spend Christmas?
Spent time with the fam…ate cinnamon rolls…enjoyed life.
21. How will you be spending New Year’s Eve?
Started it on St. Joe’s Peninsula hiking with Rob…finished it in Ormond with some of my best friends partaying it up around a bonfire.
22. Did you fall in love in 2008?
Nope…I’m too young for such a thing! Hehehe…
23. How many one-night stands?
None, thankfully.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Lost…YES.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Um…I don’t hate people. At least I try not to. It’s counterproductive.
26. What was the best book you read?
Mmm…I just started the “Wheel of Time” series by Robert Jordan…that whole series has been awesome…and I’m almost done with it now. *sadness*
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Coldplay. I always figured that since they were popular they couldn’t be any good. I will admit, I was wrong.
28. What did you want and got?
I don’t understand this question…a job, I guess? Good times with friends?
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Mmm, two answers. The Dark Knight for pure awesomeness. And Death Race just because.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 21…whoa. And I spent it with my fam. Nothing better.
32. What’s one thing would have made 2008 immeasurably more satisfying?
Nothing. 2008 was what it was. And what it was was awesomeness.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008?
Um…jeans and t-shirt? What it always is? I don’t really have a fashion concept. I wear comfort.
34. What kept you sane?
God. As He always has.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Haha, probably the different situations in Israel. They always get me the most passionate…oh and the whole little Russian invasion into Georgia. That was sorta interesting.
37. Who did do you miss?
My friends from high school who I don’t to see half as much anymore…it makes me sad.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
I met lots of cool new people this year…so no comment.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
I’ve learned lots this year…maybe the biggest is just to enjoy life in the present instead of worrying about the future.
Man…2008 was a good year. 🙂
