Year 2007 Evaluations

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?

I Started documenting my life on an online journal, and...
I went to a Carribean island!

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I used to set up this long list of goals and was disapointed when i didn't complete them. So I stopped doing it for a while. 2007 was the first year that I set some and there was only about 5 things on my list. I completed all but one of them so I think that was better. I love goal setting in general.
