New Year: Looking back and looking ahead

Well, this is the last post I will do for 2008 and the first one on my new laptop. 2009 is right around the corner and it couldn't come a minute too soon. I'm in a hurry to get to a party, so I'll make this quick. There's an epidemic of Senioritis going around. I'm sorry (not really) to say that I was one of the first afflicted. It only took ten minutes of school on the first day before I praying that a lightning bolt would just strike my teacher dead on the spot. I repented of my sinful thoughts later that night, but still, I feel a small shimmer of hope everytime it starts to rain. Anyway, I don't know the exact date that I graduate, I just know I'm in the class of2009, so the sooner it gets here the sooner I get out ;) Looking back, I see it was a pretty decent year. A lot of stuff as happened. My new favorite actor died a few days after I decided he was my new favorite actor. Heath Ledger. I will miss his performance as the Joker more than I would miss my right pinky toe. Also, Bernie Mac died. No fun. He was a pretty funny guy. We must wonder what will happen to the Ocean's 11 movies. These truly are dark times of uncertainty. In 2009, I enrolled at SLCC for the first time. Campus courses were pretty fun. I met some new friends and I got certified for Scuba Diving. I had some fun times, good food, and danced more than any other year so far. It wasn't that bad, but I wouldn't want to repeat it. The new year is approaching. This is a time for New Years Resolutions and such. What are my resolutions? Well, I've compiled a small list: 1. Exercise: Its about time I got that six pack I've always wanted :) 2. Get my Associate's degree: I'm soooo close. I'll get it before I even graduate High School. 3. Learn to dance and play guitar: Not at the same time :) 4. Make money: Still don't have a plan for this one... 5. Finish my books: The average author makes about as much as a dentist in a year. 7. Find a number six to add to this list. 8. Take over a small country: a work in progress. 9. Construct my own working Batmobile: Motorcycle included. 10. Find the cure for world hunger. 11. Destroy the cure for world hunger. Its not much, but this should be a fun year. Keep it real everybody. A new year means that somehow, in the back of your mind, you think there'll be new beginnings. Well, in reality, you're just waking up to another tomorrow.
