Farewell, 2009

So 2009's come and gone.

Gonna watch the Dick Clark New Year's Eve for maybe (hopefully not) Dick Clark's last New Year's ever. It was an interesting year, one that was full of law school, free internships, developing TV shows, good fantasy football teams, and a record of 79 blog postings (almost 1 every 4 days).

It was President Obama's first year, a year full of political scandals, a year of ordinary heroes, a year of worldwide pandemics, another year of trying to end America's war, a year of of a recovering ( hopefully?) economcy, a year of Ben Bernanke, a year of Balloon Boy, a year of vampires, zombies, low jobless rate, and all kinds of scary things.

Personally, I didn't have too bad of a time in 2009. There was a disturbing amount of rejections (by all kinds of organizations, including law firms, judges, reality TV shows, Residential housing, student organization leadership), but at least there were some acceptances. Hopefully the trend reverses soon, and 2009 will prove to be a transition year to something greater. At least I'm done with 1L year. Regardless, I'm glad that 2009 happened, and looking forward to moving on to bigger and better things.

Big Things Poppin' in 2010!
