My 2007 Year-end Review

I really would like to post something philosophical in nature to describe the new year. But alas, I can’t think of anything good to write. So here I am with a year-end review meme.

[EDITED]

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’ve never done before?

A lot of small things. Top 3 in my list will include the launch of “Same Blank Space.” The 2nd biggest new thing that I did was to run for the college student council and actually win. The biggest one is… well, I had the chance to meet someone important in my life.

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
