Sorting Through the Clutter
If you somehow were able to unearth my diary amidst the clutter of my room, then you would probably find something like this...

Yet another year has flown by. Why does it seem like time is on fast forward once we graduate from school?

So what have I done with my time in 2008? Time for a recap:

- started 2008 without any boys by my side. (as opposed to the disaster exactly a year ago) I haven't rung in a new year without a boyfriend since almost a decade ago. Needed to learn to be alone.
- ran the social committee at work
- learned how to deal with a fickle heart
- took up a Culinary Arts class! I learned how to cut a whole chicken into 8 usable parts, how to make reduction sauces, how to make the flakiest, melt-in-your-mouth quiche ever
- took up Salsa lessons. I kinda know the basics but taking lessons really made a difference
- snowboarded on the west coast for the first time ever. It was the best snowboarding experience of my life. The powdery snow was incredible
- went to NYC for the first time since the Ex and I went back in 2006. It was a little strange because I associated that city with the happy times I had with the Ex. It was strange seeing the city with other people.
- saw my first Raptor's game
- learned how to really let go of the past
- fell in love
- traveled to China and retraced the steps my dad took when he was in high school
- stood in the same spot that my dad met my mom
- learned about my roots, my heritage, my past
- traveled to Vancouver and met the boyfriend's parents (They loved me! ^_^ )
- best friend got married!
- got formally recognized at work for my recent work achievements!
- reconnected with some of my engineering buddies from undergrad
- relearned how to study
- wrote my professional engineering exam
- had our first big fight as a couple
- celebrated Christmas with the boyfriend by my side.
- rang in the new year in NYC!
