Happy New Year-in-Review

So it's that time of year again where we look back at the past year and look ahead to the coming one. Congratulations everyone, we did it! Another successful year. My heart healed. I had truths revealed. There was laughter and joy, tears and sadness, hope and fear. I was applauded for my performance in an alumnus-writ play. I partied and danced. I forgave. I worked hard and hardly worked. My friendships grew stronger while my friends grew older. Some moved forward to the real world stage of their life. I finished my second year of college for the most part intact. I bought books and read books. I went to concerts. I went to D.C. to visit family and friends. I went to New York City for a day and got to see the MoMA. Matisse's Le Dans brought tears to my eyes. I was in heaven. I went to Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival with my dear friend Simone. I took photos. I started my third year of college. I moved into a house with my two friends. I saw movies and films. I bought more books and read more books. I delved into Shakespeare's tragedies and comedies. I learned about media law. I listened to NPR and This American Life. I further expanded my music library. I played some video games. I walked. I talked. I sang. I made new friends and hung out with old ones. I said goodbye to my dog. I blogged. Goodbye 2010. You were a good year. Hello 2011. Let's make you a great year.
