- Dad: 2008 will be great.
- Mom:What about 2009?
- Dad:That'll be benign, but 2010 will be great again!
A conversation my mom told me about this morning
2007 was:
- The year I got my license.
- The year I got into my first accidents.
- Became an upper classman.
- Lost three friends.
- Had one friend move away.
- Made some more.
- Started a blog.
- Went to Bolivia.
- Stayed by myseslf away from home (those days in Miami and La Paz)
- Started a mutual fund.
- Took the ACT (got a 28)
- Took my first AP Test.
- Signed up and began my first AP classes.
- Went on a date.
- Did not get a girlfriend.
That is '07 in a nutshell. Of course you could read about half of it in this blog if you wanted.
Goals for 2008 (resolutions never happen):
- Keep a journal (I think I'm going to use part of my Border's gift card for this).
- Woo girls that meet the requirements I specified in December.
- Run for some student government position (Student Body President(?))
- Enjoy life.
- Get accepted into college, and feel good about where I'm going.
Blog: Christmas break is ending and school begins tomorrow. I find this rather depressing, I wish break could go for four more months and then we could start summer vacation. That however isn't going to happen so I did the homework due tomorrow. Fortunately, physiology isn't due til Friday and I'm done with all of my English assignments.
I can't believe everything that is going on. In a few months some of my friends go off to college, my ward is going to be strange when school starts this fall. I've made friends with some of the kids younger than me, but my friends when I moved here are all going away this year. First, it was my cousin and now he is on his mission (nearly a year out), then it was another person (who was once my friend), but now it is my closest friends. Especially my (if I put titles on my friends) best friend who has been basically adopted by my family. Its really saddening. I'm getting old, all the things I figured out when I was in 7th grade are starting to happen. Plans are frightening when they happen after being planned for so long. By the end of 2008 I'll know what college I'm going to attend in the fall, its nuts. I don't even know what my major is going to be (I know that sounds really trivial, but I like to think about trivial things), right now I'm thinking about Linguistics with a minor in Psychology. Of course, that'll probably change tomorrow. Everything is happening so fast.
Well, I best be getting off to bed, getting up for school tomorrow is going to be interesting.

It is your fate that you'll find your eternal mate in '08, hopefully. I've made a fair amount of goals also, good luck on yours.
I realized the other day how much all our lives are going to change in the next year and a half. It's crazy!
I don't want to grow up, but I do at the same time. Life is confusing like that sometimes.
Also, this next year is the last year we can do crazy things. After that we could be arrested. How sad.
Not that I have a law breaking habit or anything. Except for speeding and making bombs...
Making bombs! Jane! That was so great. Let's make bombs all the time. It gives me such a rush to pour black powder into random pieces of paper covered in electrical tape, stoppered with hot glue, and made by Chad.
Oh, sorry, this is Harrison's blog and I did want to talk to Harrison, I guess.
I know just how you feel, because last year literally every one of my best friends went away to college. And don't have high hopes, people I didn't go 12 hours without talking to I have entirely lost touch with.
It sucked, but then I made new friends. They're even better, and as an added plus they're my age. So I guess it was worth it.
Also, we're growing up. What the weird?!
