Accomplishments of 2008
 

Hey all, this has been coming to mind since the beginning of this month. I've done of a search for this type of thread but I have not found a thing on it.

So any good deeds/accomplishments/what have you for this year?

Here are some of my few:

-Being able to participate in the biggest election in US history
-being able to hold on to my job in this ecomonic age (seriously)
-teaching myself yet another language (apart from the 4 that I'm learning)
-meeting new folks here on JF (cheesy I know but some of the people on this forum have been great:vsign: )

Umm...thats all I can thing of for right now.

So big or small what have YOU accomplished for this year?

Accomplishments huh...

- Finishing my first semester of college! Alright!
- Learning the entire lead guitar part for Silent Jealousy (X Japan)! Alright!
- Meeting totally awesome people and making a bunch of a friends on JF! Alright!
- Being a really lazy-ass fool and setting the record for getting up as late as 3:30 PM! Alrig- awwww, crap...

Thats so awesome, Arikado. I was tempted to say "see ya" my 1st semester (& this was when I went back to school well after high school...lazy me:o )

Good on ya mate!

Yup, I'm actually a bit excited about my next semester, which is kind of astonishing, considering I hate school and getting up early, and I have to be up an hour earlier than last semester (which is still gonna suck). The only thing I'm not looking forward to is Calc II and Public Speaking, hahahahah.

My 2008 Accomplishments ..:

-I finished the 1th semester of My 3rd yrs of University in Dublin (Say "Doublin")
- I Re-start to smoke(dunno if i can be proud)
- I still have a lot of fun (A LOT ) with someone :rolleyes:
-I definitly changed my fashion style (ByeBye Baggy..) :ywave:

For now i just have tht .. lol

Nice Koaku, but I don't think smoking again should be included, haha.

I also forgot one thing. I started dressing elegant gothic aristocrat, which I've always wanted to do.

@Arikado-when I go back to school I have to take a speech class too (>_<) but mos def good luck on that. When do you go back to school?

@Koaku-I like the cut of your jib! You're awesome babe!

Thanks, I'm gonna need it, I'm a nervous wreck in front of people, hahaha. Good luck to you too. About returning, I'd have to check the exact date, but it's sometime around the 27th of January, so, about a month away.

Don't turn into an anorectic. Do I make myself clear ?!

That wasn't my own fault!
There wasn't any food! : D

Trust me, I used to eat too much.

That's what they all say.

yeah tht what THEY ALL SAY

I'm feeling intimidated....
: D
But!!! I have a better excuse.
I've been nauseous, so food looked gross.

Thats excellent!!!

I forgot to add that I went on vacation by myself for the 1st time this year. To Disneyland. It really wasn't too bad. Although it seemed that almost EVERYONE called to check up on me from time to time. but hey its the thought that counts...right?

I usually get really shy when addressing a group of professionals...of course i'm fine shooting my mouth off with my friends...lol
Enjoy your vacation!!!!! Lucky!!!!

Thank you!
Vacation is so needed.
I could use one right about now : D
It's nice to have people like that.

Mmmhhh...Approved :cool:

Whew. *wipes forehead*

Oh!
Another accomplishment..

+Grew my hair out longer.

I'm still working on growing my hair too, hahah. It's at a dumb length at the moment, and I want it to change so I can start styling it the way I want.

Mine is reaching the middle of my back, and I don't plan on getting
a haircut anytime soon, I do need to touch up my roots though.
If I get that done before new years, that'll be an accomplishment.

yes it is....when you're about to turn 30 like I am:D
oh well I usually forget to act my age so thats why people do this to me...hee hee hee


-dammit another accomplishment:
-losing weight...(i actually got some "unmentionables" a size down...finally:o :D )

My hair is growing awfully slow for some reason, no way I'll have it ready in time for the new year, hahaha.

Eat Vitamins and use Beautiful lengths shampoo : D

Vitamins I can do ;]
Beautiful lengths shampoo huh...I might give it a try as long as it doesn't have conditioner in it. Conditioner just makes my hair flat, hahaha.

:D

2008 was a terrible year for me. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and I didn't achieve anything new, really!

There's only two things I guess.

- I got a summer job that noone expected me to get as they required someone that had already finished their Bachelors.
- This same place offered me two permanent positions, which I refused! (Kind of amazing due to the economy right now, and the fact that the company was already letting a couple of people go, Plus it had an amazing starting salary).


Apart from that, I've wasted a lot of time. Due to a huuuuuuge misunderstanding, I ended up cancelling an exchange to Osaka University because the courses they offered for exchange students in English were ridiculous. They had nothing to do with University Math and Science. So I ended up cancelling that exchange which left me in the 2nd year of bachelors even though I passed with flying colours. I didn't go to the third year because they don't offer the course I want at the university I'm at now.:mad:


Oh, I guess the only good thing that happened recently is that Oxford University said they will accept me for a Masters course I want to do if I continue to get grades like I have.

The major accomplishment of 2008 for me was surviving it:
Totalled my Mazda
Managed not to be fired by my insane boss
Still have almost $20 in the bank (till tomorrow)
Bailed out a friend's business

But what makes me smile are some of the people who have come into my life. The "dorkielittlekoreangirl" who is the only one who can match me shot for shot of soju; the three best sushi chefs in Texas; and the life-long friend who goes home to Tokyo in February (if I don't hold nim hostage).

Finally we both come back in England loool ... So ironic

Haha, ouais, mais je pense que tu dois attendre encore un an!

Btw, please don't make the mistake of coming back here, haha, even if it is for one semester:D

Bah si j'ai de la chance je fais la rentree en Fevrier ou Mars mais ce sera l'universite du Kent (je crois ke c comme sa kel s'appelle) lol sinon ouai je dois attendre 1 ans a rien faire..

Naa if im comming back its definitly not for 1 semester lol

Ah cool : si tu pars a Kent dis mois car je connais beaucoup de gens en Masters la bas. Si t’as besoin d’aide ils peuvent t’aider. Si a la fin tu n’arrive pas a trouver ou aller il faut qu’on discute lol

mdr, si c plus d'1 un, pars en vancance mec ou Go to South Korea for work. lol

1) got a really good guy, without even trying
2) got rid of loads of stuff that was just cluttering up my place
3) got some new friends here
