I doubt I will have time to post on here again before the year is out so I will do my review of the year for me a little early! I was going to post a review of the major news events but it seems so many people are doing/planning it I thought it wasn't really worth it.
Landmarks: It has been a crazy time with parents birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, university ending for good, graduation, NCTJ exams and death of people we know/care about.
Memories: Of course there will be times of looking back and seeing good and bad times - someone I know dying this year at only 21 is the obvious bad point of this year but their have been personal highs such as graduation (even though it was at the 2nd attempt) and the fact that I passed NCTJ Newswriting and Local Gov despite failing Central Gov - at least I am more qualified than I was.
What has 2008 taught me: This year has taught me to not plan ahead too far, to concentrate on short term goals and to cherish every achievement I get and enjoy life in the present without ignoring the perils faced by me and other people day in day out.
Moving on: The time has come to push on thinking back on University life and from writing for free and work experience placements but they are both still a useful tool while looking for my dream job and will help me build my portfolio.
Looking Forward: And it is a time to look ahead to 2009 - what will that year bring for you? For me, a trip to Australia and then I will have to knuckle down and get a full time job to help my career and not like the 5 days a week I am now doing at a Supermarket. Don't get me wrong I enjoy working for them and the pay is good but at 21 I need to aim for the top and see where I fall, if you get what I mean.
And finally... I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and let's hope that 2009 brings what is deserved.
