Take the first sentence (or two) from the first post of each month of 2008. That's your year in review.
January - I tried to read over last years' posts to come up with an idea of how the year went, and I was absolutely miserable. I stopped reading it because I might be a little smarter now, but I'm less happy and more bitter. I'm much more aware of my shitty situation. And I'm just whining about it all the time.
February - So, I get some free time. The bad news is that I got really sick... now I'm forced to hang out at home.
March - [http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18 227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/1822 7/podcast/MADISON-WI/WIBA-AM/otb011608%2 03.mp3?CPROG=PCAST&MARKET=MADISON-WI&NG_FORMAT=newstalk&SITE_ID=1170&STATION_ID=WIBA-AM&PCAST_AUTHOR=WIBA-AM&PCAST_CAT=News/Talk&PCAST_TITLE=Outside_The_Box] (nostalgia)
April - 23. And I don't have much to add. I'm really freaking tired. And I have to work in a few hours. But I'm 23, somehow. In one year, I won't know how in the hell I made it to age 24, either.
May - 44%. No, that's not Bush's approval rating. It's not how much of my brain I use. It's not even my confidence level going into the summer concert season weighing as much as a mid-size SUV. Nope, all of the above have a number much lower than 44%. 44% is what I got on a group project that took a little over 40 hours of my life and time, a project that I provided the idea for, provided the narration for, and provided the technological skills for.
June - Age isn’t a number, it’s a countdown.
July - This is the result of the personality test I took. (Online Dating, Part 1)
August - Confused Jimmie is confused. I'm in a tough spot both work-wise and girl-wise. My bed smells like her, and I can't sleep. I've definitely fallen for her, but not as far as I normally would for someone occupying my bed last night.
September - DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
PATCHY FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA LATE
TONIGHT AS SKIES CLEAR...WINDS BECOME LIGHT...AND TEMPERATURES
FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 DEGREES. (Weather forecast on September 8)
October - Dear Jane, It has been a long time since I last saw you. Without even having to remember, I can venture to guess that it snowed on that day.
November - It's barely 11 in the morning, and I've already failed today. It's looking more like I won't have much work to do here in Eau Claire, just as I was last year in Madison.
December - It's the first day of the last month... decent timing to just put everything in perspective after downing a half bottle of Nyquil and a case of Red Bull.
