			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well here I am 16 days into 2009 still reflecting on what went wrong/what went right in 2008.  And I am in no way &#8220;emo&#8221; but I must say that the &#8220;what went wrong&#8221; outweighs the &#8220;what went right&#8221;.  Towards the end of 2007 I moved in with some people that at the time I didn&#8217;t know would change my life.  This was definitely one of the &#8220;what went right&#8221;s.  The became my best friends and my second family pretty much and even though roommates came and gone I developed new friendships and found myself doing different things.  I was starting to go out a lot more and just having more fun in general which is what I was lacking for a long time in my college life.  I happened to move in with Nathan who was an avid dancer at ASU.  He took me with him one day and things changed for me from there on too.  I really started getting into dancing around August when I took a class.  This was one of the best choices that I&#8217;ve made in a long time.  It kept me happy and was a cheap way to have fun for the whole night.  Those were the best things that happened to me in 2008.</p>
<p>Well sadly 2008, wasn&#8217;t all good as some people could probably guess.  Besides on a global scale all the economies of the world starting to fail affected all of us.  As far as work is concerned I couldn&#8217;t find anything when I most desperately needed it.  I always had a job where I worked from home on web pages and etc, but that could only go so far as to how much money I could make and how much I needed&#8230;sadly the amount I needed way outweighed the amount I could make.  Other than money I turned 21 this year which I&#8217;m still trying to determine if that is a good or bad thing.  Sure it&#8217;s fun to go out to the bars and stuff, but it&#8217;s extremely expensive and I&#8217;ve made some poor choices that I&#8217;m bettering myself on now.  As far as my personal life goes I ended a relationship that I have yet to this day figure out why I did and I feel like an idiot still and am always wondering.  My grandmother that I was extremely close to passed away this year which was probably the hardest part of the year because it was just like that and suddenly she was gone.  I also had mono and pneumonia at the same time which forced me to withdraw from the spring semester at ASU.  </p>
<p>Well 2008 wasn&#8217;t the best year of my life, and I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s the worst and if it&#8217;s not it&#8217;s definitely in the top 2.  I&#8217;m hoping 2009 will be much better but so far it&#8217;s been good.  I have an amazing job that&#8217;s going to help me get out of the debt I&#8217;m in, in no time.  Thanks for ready and comment I hope to talk to everyone soon!</p>
