Year in Review
Well, 2008 has certainly been an interesting year. Instead of the traditional High/Low, I’ve decided to simply post my calendar….my old school pen and paper calendar that I got at Kmart on sale. In this day of Google Calendar, iPhones, and blackberries I STILL use a regular old calendar…just like there is no true replacement for mac and cheese, there is still no digital replacement for that feeling of satisfaction when you manually cross off a task that’s been on your agenda.
So if we take a look at the calendar:
January: Slow, because I was on vacation for half of it, and didn’t get the calendar tll towards the end. Hence, it is empty.
February: Started off spectacularly, with a great birthday party at HUGS. Drinks were had, love connections were made, and I danced like a fool. It was fantastic.
March: Was slower, getting into the groove of things. I spent most of March working on my portfolio and went on a fantastic ski trip to Stowe in Vermont!
April: Obviously much busier. Portfolio was in final stages, started meeting with people to figure what to do with myself.
May: I’m not sure why I split May in half?
June: BUSY. Finished up at Futurebrand, looking for next gig.
July: Went corporate. Beached with my friends in Connecticut and in the Hamptons.
August: As friends returned from summer trips and others starting school, social life in the city picked up a bit.
September: While empty, was probably the most exciting month of the entire year. By this time, I figured out corporate was not for me, I went to London
October: Also empty. But I dressed up like an Oompa Loompa for Halloween and it was fun! I’m noticing a trend here…empty calendar = good month?
November: Amazing! Also a bit empty….but I was too busy living life instead of planning for it.
December: Not so bad, but stayed in NYC for the holidays for first time ever (not making THAT mistake again, I assure you). I’ve finished the year off on better terms but…the year is not over yet, and the best is yet to come.
