2008: the year that was.

Well, 2008 is coming to an end. For me, it was the year of many firsts, many lasts and a lot of both good and bad times.

I remember at the very start of the year, I'd made all these elaborate new years resolutions. I was going to lose weight and get fit. I was going to throw myself into school and do the very best I could. Basically, I just wanted to have a good year.

Now with the year coming to an end I can't help but feel like I wasted it. I didn't really do any of those things, I'm still as unfit as I was a year ago, possibly even more so; and as much as I tried, I couldn't commit myself to school as much as I'd hoped, and it definitely showed on my end of year results. I drifted away from some people who I was once very close with, but I guess that happens as you get older.
I'm not saying it was all bad though. I turned 18 and watched my friends turn 18 as well; I made some great new friends, and even took up a sport (yes, bowling is a sport!).

I haven't made any major plans for 2009 yet. I'm taking a gap year and just going to work and have fun with my friends. I'm not making any new years resolutions - I never stick to them. But I am going to just try and be the best person I can be.

That's all I have to say I guess.

Here's hoping 2009 is a great year for you all!
