So this will probably be the last time I post this year, because I just have not been that attached to the computer. Whenever I'm not in school, I tend to go nowhere near the computer for periods of time due to burnout.

Anyways, it's kind of hard to believe that 2007 is almost over. I mean, I look at 2008 coming and think about all kinds of things. Like, in less than a year, I'll be graduating from college.

Since I've been doing very little in the last few days, I thought I would do one of those 2007 in review things. With none other than the same survey I took abotu this time last year, just changing the years from 2006 to 2007

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Yes, I made last year's resolutions-to get straight A's. This year's will be challenging, but I am sure that with much effort, I will be successful, as I am in most things.

Same as last year

I'm really hoping 2008 is just as good as 2007.
