Goodbye 2008, Welcome 2009

As I sit here, burned by the kisses of the sun's rays, I slowly realize that the year of infinity, 2008, is actually coming to a close. The year has been so very good to me, as I had thought it might.
And as my life in 2008 ends, I'll now reflect on it, and soon welcome the dawn of my new life in 2009.
January
At the dawning of 2008, I was relishing in the love that I had found in a boy named Eric. It was free and silly. Something that I still look back on when "Hands Down" comes on. I was given a part in the Glass Menagerie at MVCC, which put me in a part that I had yet tried to play, a girl that was socially awkward, to the fact of recluse. Quite a different role compared to Grace in Bus Stop and Mrs. Webb in Ourtown...

February
Feb. brought both heartache and Love, quite interesting for a month that revolves around it Valentines day. A long drawn out breakup, mostly because of my belief in it working, hurt me deeply all the way up until Valentines day. To which I went to a "Anti-valentines day dinner" and formally met a guy names Tyler. Someone who is radically different from myself, I now believe that opposites attract. From any man that Ive ever met, I know now that the saying " Women Marry Men Who Are Like Their Fathers" means. By the end of the month we were dating...

March
March brought my surgery that really did nothing at all. After removing my gall bladder, hoping that it would stop my stomach aches, unfortunatly they have not. My doctors now believe that I have syliac disease, which I addimently refuse to believe... If you dont know what that means? it means that Im allergic to gluten, meaning no bread, pasta, pancakes... yeah I might just die...

April
Tyler and I are still in out "honeymoon" stage of the relationship... Tyler's birthday suprise planned by myself went off without a hitch. I also was granted my last part at MVCC, Lenny, the older sister in the play "Crimes of the Heart". Which is one of my favorite, though it was quite boring. I was able to finally perform with my best friend Danielle, something that we hadnt been able to do for our entire college career.

May
FInally my graduation from MVCC has come! I was so incredibly happy at this point I didnt care what was going on except for the fact that I no longer had to go back to that place. My eyes were now set on the new sights of furthering my education. Where to? I sent out many, many applications. SOme of them were easy schools, some were not. The one school that I wanted to go was Albany, but I never believed that I would get in...

June
Most of June was spent working and going back and forth to Cooperstown to see Tyler.

July
Six months... One of my longest relationships ever... We celebrated with a huge dinner out at the Casino. This month I also recieved the news that I got into Oneonta State, after a week of trying to find housing I then recieved the most influencial letter of my life. My acceptance letter to Albany. I immidiatly started finding loans that would loan just to me so that my parents didnt have to worry about money problems from me anylonger...

August
After going "on leave" from the casino, I used a lot of my stored up money to buy the things that I needed for my new apartment room. Final descisions are being made now about where I am to stay and what i am to eat. I meet my roommate and suitmates as well this month. All I can say is interesting... haha The hard part of this all is my relationship with Tlyer. We went through quite a rough patch deciding if we were to stay together. Lighting ceremony... New Classes... New Life

September
Again my life is pulled between my past life in Utica and my New life in ALbany. My roommate has turned out to be more of a party animal then I thought, I many times feel like an old person near her because half the time I dont feel like going out at all. Acting class is hell... Shakespeare? All Semester!? shoot me...

October
This is the month that all hell broke loose in Albany... Richard Bailey, a fellow student and WT goer, is shot and killed, the campus goes into mourning and insanity breaks out downtown. Break ins, muggings, and the like break out everywhere. None of us feel safe for quite some time, even us living uptown lock both our outer doors and our inner bedroom doors for a time. Lots of time is spent in the costume shop...

November
Finally legal!! This month was crazy amazing. Though I know that the previous statement isnt very gramatically correct, it describes the feeling of this month perfectly. Free Champagne from WTs, Birthday party in Utica, Bar hopping... Plus of course Thanksgiving which is my favorite food time of the year...

Decemeber
This month started out as hell. Within the first two weeks I had over ten things do, including a 45 min oral presentation, a re-write of a shakespeare play (kill me) and a 15 page essay... I was stressed out beyond belief... The most amazing night was the night that everything was turned in and all tests were taken. Me and the Suities decided to have a Albany Tea Party, which consisted of Twisted Tea, Smirnoff, and lots of beer... Quite a good time. I was also the last one to leave the apartment, leaving me quite rediculously lonely for a day and a half... I was freaked out that the apartment was so quiet. I love planes by the way, I love taking off and landing, Im such a speed demon... This leaves me to my present position. Florida. I had a wonderful christmas, and got many amazing gifts, the most amazing being a Playstation 3. However by the 27th a panic attack hits when my computer totally fries... I am not looking for a new computer as the new year starts off...

2009...
What are you to bring?
The numerical number nine is one of the most significant single digit numbers known.
Number of the patience, the meditation
Number of the harmony, it represents the inspiration and the perfection of the ideas
As a product of 3 x 3, it is the expression of the perfection, the symbol of the virile power, in addition to be associated to the couple
Being the last simple number, it is the number of finalization or finition; it is therefore the most complex, that marks the full lighting up of the numerical series
Sympathy, generosity; dramatic, artistic talent (higher octave—teacher, master)

So many things that can mean the world to me, can potentially happen in this year...
power of the couple... hopefully Tyler and I will continue to learn, love and grow together as we have this past year, now that he has moved out to Albany I believe that things will change for the better and we no longer will have the stress of distance upon us.
The fact that it is the last number, the finalization of things... To a couple it can mean marriage or breakup. Hopefully it is applying to my book... That it will finally become its last stage, PUBLISHED!
That last statement really gets me, artistic talent- higher octave. I really hope that this is refearing to the move to get my masters, that I get accepted to the school that I want, and that Ty and I will be able to deal with the stresses that will soon come with a new possible move. Also I hope that it might refear to my career, becoming an actor, writer and teacher...
2009 you have the endless possibility to make or break me, I cant wait to delve into you to see what it is that you hold!
