Hey there. It's the end of the year, and in keeping in tradition, I thought I'd give you the rundown of my 2006. While I am grateful to be alive and realize that things could have been much worse, let's just say I'm glad to have gotten it over and done. So here it was.
January: Actually a good month. I got moved to the grocery department at work and started the spring semester. Sadly, the month ended in disappointment, as my Seahawks were robbed of a Super Bowl title.
February: I didn't do anything of much note, other than do a mass virtual flower send-out. While the nice comments I got back in return were nice, don't expect anything like that from me ever again.
March: The month I'd like to forget. While it started out pretty nice with going to my sister's track meets and such, it ended tragically with the loss of my lifelong friend Katie in a car accident. I don't know if I'll ever get over it.
April: I turned 19. Good times. People really made my birthday special. Sadly, the loss of Katie ultimately prohibited me from enjoying it.
May: School ended, well at least spring semester did. I participated in an online course and was amazed at the amount of motivation it takes to complete one.
June: This month was spent doing out of the ordinary things, like counselor training in Hanover Park and jury duty in Bridgeview. It was an interesting month and was sort of fun. At this point I thought something new was on the horizon from a relational standpoint, but it wasn't meant to be. Better that way.
July: As I blogged before, the whole camp situation was extremely awkward and unsettled even as I got there. I did wind up being a counselor, and while it wasn't quite the way I had expected, the kids in my room were loads of fun. I learned more from a couple of them than I'm sure they learned from me.
August: The end of summer. I hate having to say goodbye. This time it was even worse as my cousin left for college. At least I started getting involved in Jr. High Church.
September: Ugh month #2. A former teacher of mine passed away, and I got into a car accident. Oh, and going back to TPHS for the Homecoming game was a far from enjoyable experience.
October: I wound up getting pinkeye, but on the bright side, I got a set schedule at work that was very favorable.
November: I went on a field trip to U of I, which was moderately cool. Thanksgiving was awesome as always...I always have good Thanksgivings and Easters.
December: I ended the semester on a high note, but Christmas was horrible. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. Christmas morning ready to barf my brains out--and I did. Christmas for me got delayed until the 26th, and I missed getting to partake in the normal Christmas traditions.
So, this year for the first time since 2002, I stayed home for New Year's. It seemed a fitting end to a melancholy year. I honestly am looking forward to 2007, because it couldn't be any worse than the last two years. :-) Happy New Year!
