The Last Monday

My last post of 2008.

And what a year 2008 was!

We have the first black presidential elect after a ridiculous war between the Republicans and Democrats. We found that Heath Ledger played both a convincing and frightening joker. And Iron Man wasn't the disappointment as expected. We couldn't get Love in this Club by Usher, Love Song by Taylor Swift, and Viva la Vida by Coldplay out of our heads. No one would stop talking about the latest episodes of House, Heroes, and SNL. We lost Heath Ledger, Bernie Mac, and Bobby Fischer. Two of us lost cats. And one of us lost a father. There were break-ups and couples formed. Blogs were made and friendships grew. We watched siblings go to college. There were arguments, huge fights, and quite a bit of drama, but we made it through. We started the 'toughest' school year yet. We've thought about our futures. We've faced tests. AP tests, SATs, ACTs, and the general tests of life. We laughed. We cried. We grew. We changed.

I think we all came out of this year older and wiser. At least I can only hope.

2009 gives us a fresh start. We have the oppurtunity to make new memories. I hope it turns out wonderfully.
