2009 has brought it’s ups and it’s downs. I feel like recapping the year, just because everyone’s doing it and I like reminiscing, no really. I do.
School brought very little joy to me in 2009. Basketball was a drag, and I admit, track was a tad. I got hit with Senioritis in every aspect of school, but I didn’t care. I actually really don’t have much to say about my final year at Lowell. It was enjoyable and…well, I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure. And to tell the truth, I was happy when I finally graduated because that means new school, new people, and new beginnings.
I met a group of people I actually grew to love as time went on. We call ourselves “BLT”, which is short for Blacklisted. I wasn’t meant to be part of this group, but because of them, I did. They are the reason I love 2PM and Ok Taecyeon so much. They know how to make me laugh and smile no matter what and I’m truly thankful for them.
I coached a team of second graders. At first I was only doing it because it was “the proper thing to do” and I would also be able to write it on my applications. But I learned to love coaching them and I loved all of them. They’re so cute and they did very well. It was nice to know that I was able to help them love a sport I also love.
Summer of 09 was definitely one of the best summers I’ve had. But with that…I spent a lot of money. I was out a lot during summer, which is a change compared to past summers. I went down to LA about…5(?) times when I didn’t even used to go down to LA once a year. My friend Alex was my summer pal. We played a lot of pool together, and was actually the one I dragged down to LA with me twice. Anime Expo was very fun. I’m glad I managed to convince both Alex and Thomas to go with me, I think they had as much fun as I did. Both ISA SF and ISA LA were amazing. FM’s performance in SF was great, but Quest’s and David Choi’s performance in LA were amazing. Being at an Epik High concert made me feel like I was at an actual Kpop concert. All that was missing were the chanting fangirls, lightsticks, and balloons. There’s probably way more I’m forgetting, but summer was fun.
Moving to Riverside was one of the best parts of the years. It started out rough, and I felt lonely. I was really worried life was going to be like this forever. Luckily I met the cool people that lived in my building and we created the N Zone. Even though we’ve only known each other for three months, we love and support each other as if we have been best friends forever. They’ve comforted me whenever I was having problems and always kept the building busy. The Razor Knights are always there to protect the females of the group. Oh I can’t forget to mention I met Justin too! Yay! My grades were actually much better than they were at Lowell, but truthfully, I expected that. 2009 has brought some really good times to my life, but with the good, comes the bad.
With the Senioritis came the slacking, and it showed. My graders weren’t particularly fantastic, and my APs weren’t as good as they should’ve been. I spent too much money during the summer. I lost one of my best friends. But nothing is perfect and life must go on. People move on, and people learn to put things behind them. I just hope that happens soon.
2009, thanks for treating me well. I know a lot of people said 2009 sucked, but I don’t think so. It was nice, and I had fun. 2010, can you top 2009?!
