So it’s really 2009 already, huh? It’s kind of hard to believe that a whole year has already gone by. Then again, it feels like that every year when you think about it. “whoa, I can’t believe it’s been a year!”…but really take the time to just think about 2008. A lot happened, didn’t it?
In a way, I’m really glad to see 2008 go. I’ve had some amazing things come out of 2008 and I’ve learned an immense amount of things. I wouldn’t go back and do it any differently but my overall feeling on the year is “meh“. 2008 feels like one of my least favorite years…if you could even begin to have some sort of rating system.
Good Riddance? Not quite but I can’t say that I was content or happy more than I was busy or stressed or depressed, etc. That all comes with growing and learning things about yourself, though.
2009 is going to be a really big year for me. I’m graduating and I have no idea what’s going to happen after that. I don’t know what I want to do or where I’m going to end up but I can say right now that I know I don’t want to leave what I have here in Savannah.
In addition to graduation I’m going to continue to expand my skills in graphic design. I’m doing another independent study this semester and I’m also going to do my best to give myself more motion graphics projects to keep myself learning new techniques.
I also bought and electronic drum kit a little less than a week ago.
We’ve been having our LAN party so I haven’t been able to really sit down with it for more than 10 minutes at a time but I really plan on learning how to use it proper. I really want to commit to it and I’ve downloaded a heap of lesson sets that go from absolute beginner to advanced techniques in all styles. Hopefully this time next year I’ll have something to show for it.
So, to all of you, I hope your 2009 is a really good one filled with things and experiences you’ll remember forever. Don’t ever be quick to dismiss memories…
