This.

On the plus side, I've just managed to score a job after being unemployed since the end of November \o/. Money's crap tbh, and it's a temporary job with only a 3 month rolling contract, but money's money, and it buys me time to apply for and hopefully land a permanent job.
 
A year closer to finishing my degree, which seems to be going well.
More confident and happier.
Some great new friends.

I sort of expected it, but knew I'd need to work for it all.
 
I'm not quite with your post OP.


I hate to point it out, but, were all dying. ;)

Haly, get back to that carefree attitude asap, anything else will simply drag you down & I'm sure that's not what your Dad would have wanted for you. (speaking from the point of view of a father myself)

Anyway, all the best for 09.

hmm, It's a mixed thing for me.

12 months ago, I had JUST broken up with my girl. So was pretty devistated. Now, I'm not devistated, and it's to the point where, Although I love what we had, i don't think I'd want to go back with her if the choice came around.

My Job went down the pan a few weeks ago, And 12 months ago, I had JUST started a new Job, A fantastic job that I loved. My first day was actually 7th Jan 2008. So the job lasted a year.

Right now I'm struggling to make ends meet, No money, And a flat to upkeep, bills to pay.

12 Months ago, Would I see myself struggling here? no way, I thought my job was set for life, And full of opportunity.

I do have to say, Some of the things said in this thread have brought my money troubles into perspective somewhat.

The OPs bike accident in 2008 and Haly's terrible 2008, Have made me realise my problems are trivial.

Sorry you guys, I hope things do get better/are getting better
 
Good question OP

Im probably where I thought I would if not a little better off but I had set high goals for 2008. Ive qualified as an accountant, progressed in my firm, bought myself a really nice car, fully deocrated my house apart from the kitchen, been on the holiday of a lifetime and my relationship with my gf has grown even stronger.

Only down side is not paying as much off the mortgage as I hoped.

All in all a really good year for me
 
Well I'm still in uni, which I was expecting, still single, which I wasn't sure about but no big surprise. I've been offered a job which I was expecting, so I'm pretty much exactly where I thought I would be, although I have been changing as a person - more confident and worrying a lot less about things which I didn't expect. So I'm pretty happy where I am compared to where I was last year.
 
I think I've done very well considering the final half of 2008 completely SUCKED for me. Split with the fella of 3 1/2 years, moved out, moved into a new place alone, took on a very stressful promotion at the same time, close friend diagnosed with Cancer and then lost 3 friends - 2 to illnesses and 1 to a car accident.

I didn't let my job suffer however and bagged a promotion and payrise and I'm totally in love with my flat, I guess I'm just proud because it's all mine really. Off the back off some of the above I have met and made some massively awesome new friends whom now I will never be without :). The best bit and probably the most emotional day of my year was when my above friend who had Cancer was cleared of the disease. My my, the tears flowed that day lol!

I'm still in one piece so no, I didn't expect that could happen if I had known all of the above was coming :p
 
12 months ago I could be bothered with uni.. And now I can't.

I didn't expect myself to hate second year as much as I do. It's boring and doesnt even feel taxing (although how would I know now I rarely ever go in.)

I would rather be living back at home earning real monies than wasting my life here.

I wish I didn't do such a **** course. I'm even tempted to just go to a different uni.. If I failed this year which could easily happen I wouldn't come back for ****.
