Goodbye 2009

Current Tunes: Converge - Last Light

Nothing major to see here today folks. Just saying a friendly goodbye to the year 2009 and preparing myself for a new set of 365 days to better my life with.

This past year has been a major growing period. About two years ago when I first started grad school, I knew I would do a lot of growing, and it's so encouraging that I have. Not that things were easy at all, and not that I'm a great person now, but improvement is something to be sincerely grateful for. I still have lots of work to do.

This was pretty much my last year spent outside "the real world," that place where your career really comes into focus and becomes such a pivotal part of defining your life. The time for carefree partying and slacking is drawing down to an end. True responsibility is just around the corner. While in the past the thought may have been frightening, I have learned to master that fear and instead embrace it openly and happily.

See you all in 2010, may it be a prosperous year for all of you.
