Ah, 2009.
A great many good things happened in 2008:
-I turned eighteen.
-I dated a boy who showed me that I wasn't completely worthless and that some men can be trusted.
-I moved to Georgia. For good. Finally.
-I started college and had the most amazing first semester.
-I thoroughly enjoyed my first college marching band/football season.
-I auditioned for and made a world class winter drumline.
-I made some of the best friends of my life, friends that I know I'll still be getting together to exchange family photos and Christmas gifts with in thirty years.However, not everything about 2008 was good:
-My parents finalized their divorce.
-I wrecked my car... again.
-I dated a boy who didn't care for me the way I cared for him. Thankfully, he was merciful enough not to let that last very long.
-I let my grades slip, just a bit, because I was too busy enjoying college life.
-I made a couple of trips back and forth to Ohio, each time finding myself missing my mother and my friends from home more and more, and each time finding myself too tired to move when I finally reached my destination. If only my mother were closer to Georgia, where I truly love to be.In short, I'm glad to see 2008 go, to be honest. I've already had some amazing conversations, experienced my first bowl trip victory, and spent a lot of time with some great friends in 2009, and I only expect the best for the rest of the year. The great things about 2008 are things that will only continue into the future: I will continue to live as an adult, the WGI season will continue (and will be amazing, I'm sure), and I will have the opportunity to experience another season of marching band and Georgia football with my amazing friends. I will still be in college. I will still know my own worth.
And besides, in 2009 I will:
-Get my new car. =)
-Take some friends on an amazing trip (who knew?) to Ohio.
-Move in with some of the greatest girls ever.Beyond that, who knows what the future holds? I'm excited, and more than that, I'm optimistic. Yes, you heard that right. Georgia has made me optimistic. And I can't wait to see what each new day will bring.

I'm glad you're optimistic
See ya tomorrow!
Good for being optimistic, I won't say that I am because that would be lying, but this year is definitely better than 2008, and I am just as glad to see that year gone. *hugs* I am glad that this year so far is going great for you
