The best and worse of 2009

The year was 2009. Some of this stuff I wish I could forget but all things happen for a reason right? The other stuff I'll always remember. Check it out!

In 2009 I:

  1. Quit working for cycle gear
  2. Started working for The Art Institute Cage ( camera rental )
  3. Finished school and graduated
  4. Started working for Walgreens
  5. Quit Walgreens
  6. Starting doing a lot of freelance for my new business
  7. Started working with Crown Alley Films
  8. Finalized my graduation at the walking ceremony
  9. Received honors during graduation
  10. Helped my best friend load he moving truck for Texas

 That's actually about all that happened other than very fine detail!

Now here is a few of those details I remember but wish I could forget.

  1. Old ladies shopping at Walgreens telling me their gonna crack my face because of a coupon
  2. Being totally stressed out about my final portfolio class
  3. Wishing I could be out with friends but stuck at home doing homework
  4. Presenting my portfolio with a lump in my throat while the faculty of The Art Institute listens
  5. Putting up with all the stupidity of Walgreens


Oh lord, I could go on and on about this but I'd be getting a little too detailed. These were just some of the things that stood out to me.

The best thing about 2009 is that I survived. 2009 will also go down in history as the year that I finished and graduated college. My dad would be proud of me! I never thought I'd go back to school but I guess I fooled myself. The funny thing about it is that I actually loved every minute of it. It was definitely hard at times and there were even times that I wondered how in the world I was going to make it. But I made it! College to me was not about having homework. It was about starting over with a new career. I took each assignment with the perspective of this being work from a client. I was never late for class, never late on my school work, and I never missed a day of school. I had perfect attendance all the way around.

And for that I am very proud of myself!
