1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?

Does Ohio count? Sometimes it feels like a different country...

6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?

Um. To be abroad? (Y'know, I have trouble thinking of 2003 as a complete unit. Am far, far too used to the school year way of marking years.)

7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

I honestly have no idea. Maybe March 31, 'cause it was when I made my first LJ post, thus moving myself over from DeadJournal?

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Finishing that 23-page history paper last semester and the 14-page English paper this semester! Hmmm...well, perhaps getting into the poetry and fiction workshops overshadows those. Yeah, I think it does.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Am still a little disappointed about not making Chamber Singers. Kind of. Not really.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

My tailbone informed me this year that, yes, last December I actually did break it. Had that flu/cold business the week before last...strep throat last April...
