On the 1st of the Year

On the last day of 2008, like many other people, I tried to recall all the important events that happened all through, but I failed to summarize them in a few words. 2008 meaned a lot, in which I experienced a lot. Ecstacy, sorrow, bittersweetness... were all the feelings I had. Before I fell asleep, my roommates asked one another what we harvested in 2008 and what impressed us the most. I searched in my mind for the answer but I didn't share it with them. My 2008 was concluded with a large of messages in my phone.

On the first day of 2008, I got up at 10. Nothing special happened. New year began with a heavy load of tasks. Opening my textbooks, I learned it was not a easy thing to prepare for the finals. Comprehensive English, Spanish, The Biblical Literature, English Literature... I spent 2 hours in the classroom studying. It was too chilly there and then I went back to the dorm.
...

In the last few hours, many people were waiting for the last countdown of the New Year. In the past, I might be one of them, regarding the wait as a kind of ceremony, expecting something surprising to occur to me. But last night, I was wondering the significance of doing such things. I've changed for the better or worse?

IN A MESS...
