The Halfway Mark of '04!

[Agent Proto]

Ok, we're almost halfway through the year, and things have been fine and dandy for the most part. Anyway, how would you rate the year so far for you? In your life and online? Would you say it's been good, bad, or a rollercoaster of ups and downs?

As for me, I'd say that the year so far has been treating me fair, but throughout my family, I'd say it's been fairly good, with its downs. First of all, I'm doing fine myself, having met my gf a few weeks ago for a week, which was quite enjoyable, so that's a high in the year. My dad's been diagnosed with gastric cancer by March or May, or somewhere in between, and that itself probably makes the year sad, in terms of my dad's health. =/ But the family's been coping with it and such.

Online, I'd say 2004's been pretty dull in general, but there are plenty of good that outweighs the bad, so it's all good.

If I were to rate 2004 so far, I'll give it a 6. It's been fairly good, but there are also some bad parts of the year that lowers the rate to 6 from a possible 8.

Well, I think the most important thing (geez, how sorry am I?) has been my increased involvement with EoFF. Before late January '04, I only came here around once a month, perhaps less than that, except when FFSupreme occurred, in which I was here every day. You guys have been great to me, and have taught me a lot about other places and other cultures, and I have made some quality friends here. I just wanna say thanks. I'm sure once school starts, marching band practice every day will surely inhibit my involvement here, but I'll try to be on as much as possible.

*hugs EoFF*

I'd say it's been okay. Certainly better than 2003, quite possibly the worst year of my life. I'd give it around a 6, probably.

You know... this year was looking really good until recently. I got my degree (sorta... more on that later), got a job at Electronic Arts, and generally had a lot of fun. But then I recently discovered that I didn't pass a class and since I've moved, I can't go back to my school and retake it. These past few weeks I'v been frantically talking to my counselor to see what to do. I think I've finally gotten everything straightened out, though. Just waiting on the approval to be able to take some classes at Berkeley to make up for the units. Bleh. It really sucks because now not only do I have to take two classes to make up for one (unit discrepency), but I also have to do it while I work full time. *Sigh* And I thought I was done with school... well... one more month to go. Not too bad.

It sucked. But suddenly, at halfway, things are starting to look better.

[-N-]

It could be worse. Objectively, I'd give it a low score, but I've profited enough from the harsher times for it to be much better than that. So I won't assign a number. How's that?

[Ouch!]

This has been the most difficult year of my entire life. The beginning of the year marked my withdrawal from society. I missed two months of school because of the time I spent in psychiatric departments of two hospitals. I was hospitalized on three seperate occassions.

Since my release I have been feverishly trying to catch up in my academics. I finally completed German II Honors today, leaving only Geometry and Chemistry to finish. It's not too terribly fun studying like crazy during vacation times.

I expect the second part of the year to be much better and far happier, but I fear that this year will always go down in my book as the worst year of my life.

It's halfway over already? Are you joking? Where did the time go?!

Even though I've had many odd happenings in my life and plenty of hardships, I must say that this year has been wonderful - all thanks to my awesome hubby.
As far as my year at EoFF goes - I tend to come and go. I'll come on hard for a few days then fade for a month or two and then come back. I'm trying to change that while I can cause come October there will be a lot less posting from me.

On a scale of 10 to ten I'd give it a 7.

Got rid of my immature additude
Nice cold winter
First paying job

Laid off after about 3 months
All of the best games kept getting delayed
Summer heat nearly killed me

This year has been great =)

Offline: Met Lindsey, got together with Lindsey, met Lindsey more, stayed with Lindsey, so lots of love love love love love =D!
Also got to do some paid website work. Yay.

Online: Became a Cid's Knight a few months ago, which I am still very happppay about. ^_^ And made good online friends like Baloki, PsyPsy and Ryeeee =D

Yup..I can't really think of anything bad that's happened. Oh and I turned 19 and had the best birthday EVER this year too which makes the year even better =D

[Del Murder]

It's been decent. The best part is everyone I know is still alive.

[Leeza]

I'd have to rate my year so far as a 4/10.

[Yamaneko]

Every year is great for me. A ten out of ten.

[eestlinc]

the only Mark I care about is Huculak.

[Del Murder]

The A's have a lot of players named Mark. As well as a Marco.

My 2004 has been almost eventless, which for me is a good thing. Why? Well, it's better than bad things happening.

In terms of social activity, I've "Widened Out" in my new religious congregation. This has enabled me to make a couple of new friends, which I'm happy about. I'm also feeling a little less introverted, which must be a good thing.

That's about it, I guess. :/
