In hindsight 2008 wasn't a bad year. The year definitely had it's downs. Second semester got a little rocky, and then with the loss of my grandmother I had a few "Ohmygod are you serious, life?" rants. But, those moments where when I realized all of the amazing people surrounding me. We all got to vote this year for the first time, Obama '08 :) Iowa, this completely overlooked football team, knocked the #3 ranked team in the nation out of the National Championship & destroyed their undefeated record by one point (hollerrr). I learned to take the good with the bad. I surprised myself with all that I accomplished this year, between my grades, working through personal issues, & growing up/mellowing out in general. I needed it, I know. But now I feel like I'm going into 2009 with a clear head & clean slate. We'll see.
