This meme is really easy if you've only posted like two entries each month.

2008: The Year in Review

January
... I'm home! Got in late last night. I want to do a full trip report, but I don't seem to have the brain cells tonight.
Wow, Japan Trip 2008 feels like a world away already. Can we go back tomorrow please?

February
For the record -- I KNEW it was a bad idea to get into video gaming. ^_~
The beginning of the Phoenix Wright obsession phase. Unfortunately I got bogged down somewhere along the way. I really need to get back and finish games two, three and four before Edgeworth: Prosecutor AWESOME comes out in Japan. *headdesk*

March
It's official: I have now memorized (on a good day, when the moon is in some favorable house or other) all of the elementary school level kanji.
It cannot have escaped anyone's attention that my journal this year was all about the Japanese.

April
Spring has been late coming in New England, but after a few false starts, it is porch weather again!
What, no cat pictures?

May
So I'm forging on through SGA (OK, so I didn't quite make it to season 4 by Sunday).
And then there was the SGA obsession. (Even my hobbies are backlogged right now. I have 8 unwatched SGA eps on my DVR, and the latest fan rumblings aren't exactly encouraging me to jump in and get caught up.)

June
Back from the beach, currently in DC for a few days before going off to grade Latin exams starting this weekend.
My life, she is so predictable.

July
Well, so far this summer is shaping up to be one my most unproductive *ever*. And I can't even blame poison ivy this time. >.<
See above comment.

August
It's been over a month since I posted, and I can't say I've had any real excuse. Moving on.
You know what's really sad? This, the first post of August, was posted on August 30 -- and consisted of a list of bullet points of things I wouldn't be getting around to blogging about.

September
I made a schedule of what I need to learn between now and December 7 to even have a prayer of covering all the stuff that's on JLPT 1.
The All JLPT, All The Time channel.

October
This post was originally written up two years ago (October 2006), but I ended up deciding that it was absurdly navel-gazing and never posted it. But it’s October again, and I’m feeling nostalgic and in a mood to share. So, what the heck.
The manga nostalgia post. I'm pretty sure it says something about my journal productivity this year that one of these meme spots is occupied by an unposted entry from TWO YEARS AGO.

November
After listening to media organizations (read: NPR) for days on end, I went to my polling place armed with Starbucks coffee and my laptop to stand in line for as long as it took.
At least the tanking economy didn't make it into the meme. Oops, there it is.

December
1kyuu is DONE! I felt like the kanji/vocab and grammar sections went pretty well, but the listening section was an utter disaster as expected, so it all boils down to whether I managed to do well enough on the other sections to balance out the 30% I probably got on listening.
In retrospect, this was probably my biggest personal life achievement over the past year. Will be kind of ironic if I end up FAILING it.

Hereby resolved: I resolve to be a better blogger in 2008.

I have a feeling that was one of my resolutions last year, too...
