Probably graduating was what 2008 was all about.
Didn't find love.
Didn't do anything worth-while.
Oh, I started going to the army, but apart from that? Nothing really.

Strange year this 2008 thing... basically it changed a pattern for me that I'd been in since moving to the States from Australia three years ago. My wife was the main income earner, and I helped out with the kids etc to save on day care, etc... I also worked in a grocery store.

Well this year I was lucky enough to resume working in the education industry (where i was working prior to moving here) and my wife stopped working altogether, so the roles were kinda reversed... except I started working my old job and my new one simultaneously...

So its been exhausting, rewarding, complex and somewhat interesting, but altogether, I have acheived alot this year... a really conflicted year with alot of great stuff and difficult stuff all rolled into one...

In 2008 I...
Graduated from my Bachelor of Arts
Got a tattoo
Crashed my car (again)
Adopted a puppy
Ran out of money
Started a band!

Uni has and will probably remain brilliant. I'm a much better person for it.
