2009

Well it's the New Year, and not to be a pessimist, but 2009 would have to try really hard to be as good as 2008. However, because 2009 is only one year away from 2010, I already like it pretty well. After all, my career as a student will finally end in 2010 when I graduate! Eeee! And! Mike and I get married! :D Double presents that year, and pretty much every moment I've been waiting all my life for. :)

Honestly, there's a good possibility that 2009 will be filled with a lot of school, clinical rotations, wedding planning, spending thousands of dollars of my savings, moving around the state, turning 24, celebrating 5 years with Mike, taking off the training wheels of my education, and a whole lot of growing up. My last Christmas morning at home as a child, and my last year without a college degree. 2009 will be a year of positive change and looking back fondly. It makes me realize that adulthood is literally around the corner, and all I've worked hard for my whole life will come to fruit at last.

I spent a great New Years with good friends, having such a good time that we almost missed the ball dropping. Now I'm back home for one last precious week before the sucking commences with the start of another semester of pharmacy school, and for once I don't feel anxious for it to start. Bring it on, I'm ready to finish this up, and climb that ladder I worked so hard to build, right up to the clouds.
