Its weird but I actually accomplished a few of my 2008 resolutions. I got 2 jobs, my own place, and have health insurance. My Magic goals didn't get done because I was underwhelmed by 2008 in general. I only made one new deck the whole year. >.< Hopefully 2009 will bring better options for Black because its my favorite color for competitive play. I didn't end up going to counseling because I only just got approved for health insurance and I don't make enough to afford even a sliding scale fee. I did lose some weight but it was due to stress and therefore was unhealthy weight loss. I gained it back anyway. Soup kitchens feed you an enormous amount of food and when you're not sure when you're gonna get another meal you eat like a squirrel, meaning gorging yourself for times of famine. I'm still mean to my brother and have given up any hope of being nice to him. I love him and that'll have to be enough.
My friend still hasn't opened his card shop yet. Mainly because he took a detour and decided to go back to school instead. Which is awesome and I wish him the best of luck. Saddest of all...I haven't met Sakura yet! Passports are expensive as hell and NY dragged its feet in implementing the improved driver's lisence program, which works sort of like a passport for NY residents wanting to visit Canada by bus or car. >.< I'll get there someday.2009 Resolutions/Goals:
- Get my Learner's Permit.
- Learn to drive.
- Meet lots of new people.
- Go to counseling for my ADHD(which is manageable w/o it) and depression(which is NOT manageable w/o it).
- Buy my first strand of pearls.
- Move into a bigger apartment.
- Go to Dragoncon!
- Visit my grandma and dad as well as my cousin and her daughter.
- Build a tournament worthy Magic deck.
- Give up Yu-Gi-Oh once and for all.
