The Best and Worst of 2008

From the beautiful fireworks above the Bay Bridge and the welcoming of 2008 along the Embarcadero with Angela, Christena, and Santi, I knew that this year was going to be great.

My 18th birthday. Driving around talking for hours. "Hello Panda!" Physics projects. Fifth period Leadership. "Gooooooood morning, Cardinals!" Prom with one of my best friends. Senior Cut Day. Last day being a Cardinal. "This is Ricardo Juni, your 2008 Senior Class President, signing off." The Spirit Cup two consecutive years. Graduation. My first alcohol beverage. First day of college. My first job. Summer Barbeques. Summertime in the SJC. My first time coaching volleyball. My first time being in a cotillion court. The cotillions. San Francisco trips. StrawHat Pizza. Banana peels. Evergreen Inn. A few goodbyes and many hellos. My real fuckin' homies.

The household's money problem. My first ticket. My first minor accident. Sprained ankle. Procrastination.

This has probably been the best year of my life so far. Though I've grown so much, I believe that I'm still the same person since Jan. 1, 2008. Shit, my hair still looks the same!
