Where did you begin 2010?
I remember driving up to San Francisco with Chanda so that Matt would've have to spend New Years alone. Then I drove home and went out to Marsh road with Tim, Miggy, and Kristi.
What was your status by Valentine's Day?
Single
How was school this year? Second semester junior year was terrible. Worse grades of high school, I was unmotivated for anything. I just let things slide. First semester of Senior year wasn't much better. I improved my grades, but I slacked through most of it. The last few weeks of school I pulled my grades up a lot.
Did you have to go to the hospital?
Nope.
Where did you go on vacation?
I went down to LA and San Diego, went to Disneyland. Went to Austin, TX.
Did you know anybody who passed away?
I do not believe so. Caroline Hansen got into a really bad car accident though. =\ Praying for her.
Did you move anywhere?
I moved to Mountain View from Milpitas.... =\
What concerts/shows did you go to?

Overall, how would you rate this year? Half of 2010 has really challenged me. The first 6 months were marvelous to me. Probably peaking points in my life, and the last 6 months just went down hill. Everything seemed to go wrong after I moved to MV. I ended December on my worst note. I would rate the first half of 2010 a 9. The second half a 5.
What would you change about 2010?
My laziness in school. My attitude towards others.
Other than home, where did you spend most of your time?

Start a new hobby?
I improved in photography.
Are you happy to see 2010 go?
