it's a new year

I didn't really want December 31, 2008 to end. Maybe because 2008 was such a great year for me or maybe because 2009 seems like such an uncertainty.
A few highlights of '08
1. studying abroad in London for 6 months
2. traveling to 11 European countries
3. running the Swiss Days Race??
4. tutoring Giovanni
ok, so basically the first two were the big ones and meant a lot more to me then just "studying" or "traveling"
Things to look forward to in '09
1. graduating from IU
2. looking for my first REAL job
So maybe this is why I wasn't ready for December 31, 2008 to turn into January 1, 2009. But oh well it's here now and there's no turning back. Bring on the New Year...
