it's already 2009 and i will be graduating this year. it's really crazy. i've felt many emotions, overcome some obstacles, got my first smartphone + my favorite case ever, met new people, strengthened relationships with other people, got into my first accident, experienced some horrible football in seattle, and many other things. there were a lot of good and bad mixed in all of that but in the end, i think i can say i have no deep regrets from 2008. i would think of a list of new years resolutions but that would take some time. instead i will settle on one resolution: to be a better person overall: to God, to my friends, and to myself. i don't want to be defined by what i do but by who i am.
