Ho-hum. New year? What new year?
Alex @ January 1, 2008 | | Personal |
Holy shit. It’s 2008 already and I feel like it’s still 2006. 2007 was much of a blur (a motherf*cking crazy one) for me. A lot of things happened and besides from getting to spend time with my fiancee and friends, everything else was crap. So here’s to a crappy year. Hehe.
I have a lot of things to do just before school starts again (I have a short paper for my Anthro class with which I haven’t really bothered myself) but oblige me as I maximize the couple of days still left of my vacation.
And perhaps another first on this blog - a survey! Yes, a survey! Let me do a 2007-in-review thing.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you’ve never done before?
Teach.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn’t make any new year’s resolution. I have one for this year, though. I’ll be so much richer this year.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes. Greysh gave birth to a cute li’l baby boy.
