Personal year in review

[magracer]

Highs
Not getting seriously injured in the car accident and getting 100% of its value from the insurance when it was declared totaled
Quitting my job, and resting my overworked and overstressed body and mind
Getting the fittest I've been in the last 10 years
Seriously slowed partying and thus saved a bunch of money
Getting into a couple interesting relationships
Finding a nice replacement car

Lows
Getting my car totaled by a moron who ran a red light, having whiplash effect for a while just when I went on vacation
Getting tinnitus (a ring in the ear) and not being able to cure it
Quitting my job without having another lined up
Not getting into a serious, long term, relationship because I can't find the one

I'm not planning on going into the military, it isn't a requirement for VMI because it's a public school. Even if you don't go into the military, VMI graduates are pretty much set for life. 98.5% of this year's 1st classmen have job offers right now.

i did know that, citadel is the same way. but man, thats a lot of pain to get to that point though. best of luck there.

Thanks. It'll definitely be worth it though when I'm my currently alcoholic lazy friends' boss in 20 years

if you're really as good at kicking as it sounds, I would try to walk on at a D-1A school and work up to starter, and try to go to the NFL.

I'd much rather go D1AA; I'll have kickoff duties as a freshman and do everything else the rest of my career I got to talk on the phone with the best kicker in VMI history, Craig Jones, and he said he got an offer to play for the Giants, so it's not like the NFL ignores D1AA (I'm not getting my hopes up over the NFL). He was the best kicker in the nation his senior year, and kicked at the East/West bowl in Hawaii.

Pros:
Actually getting into some relationships (5 or 6 in the end..what a shocker)
Growing my hair long (helped in a big way with the first ones )
Maturing alot and cutting other people slack.
Disciplining myself more to do more study and exercise.
Getting back into football.
Doing really well in 3/4 of exams and achieving all of them.
Getting back on speaking terms with a mate who I had a massive bust up with a year or so ago.
Starting High School well (for the most of it) and making a heap of new mates.

Cons:
Every relationship went down the drain (learnt alot though from them)
Principal hates me cause I have long hair
Still lose my composure sometimes...
still don't do enough exercise
still not great at football.

really good year on the whole i'd say.

That's the real football I assume?

Highs:
Going to NAIAS
Going to the US GP
Our soccer team winning Sectionals
Found that special girl (even though we aren't quite going out yet )
Meeting TONS of new people (mostly girls)
The fact that I made it through another year alive

Lows:
Great-grandpa died
Real close friend died
Getting a ticket

That's all I can remember and, from that, I would say that it was a decent year (especially towards the end).

More than likely this "Rugby" game they play in Kiwiville. known for Grown Men in small shorts.

[Spastik_Roach]

No no, "Soccer" as the Americans say it.

I'm not fast enough to be a winger, not bulky enough to be anything else, so soccer's the game for me.

Oh nice! Soccer is so much fun. To me at least. One thing to remember is that you can always make someone faster than you the same speed as you by using a bit of elbows and shirt tugs.

Sams off sleeping in some sheep shed. He wasn't too clear on the details, he just packed my camera and some guns and left. So I don't think he's coming online unless those sheep have more than the eye can see. ..

you exaggerate.. *cough*
i guess you could say my new year started with a bang
