So, year 2008, eh?

Everyone seems to be doing a year in review type deal in their blogs. I'm not sure that I am even capable of doing that, as it's been such a whirlwind experience. There's one thing I need to do in 2008: keep better track of things.

I just think that if my last week has been any indicator of what my next year will be like, I'm in for another awesome adventure.

Because, in the past week I:

-went to my 2nd national AIESEC conference in St. Louis, the first one being in Manizales, Colombia

-participated in a dance off (I love dance offs, who doesn't? example. No one can deny the power of a spontaneous, random, choreographed dance off.

-Received a little bit of closure on a situation that had been weighing on my shoulders for 3 months

-Went on a spontaneous road trip to Colorado to hang out with these two cool cats, snowshoe in the Rocky Mountains, and sit around with seven other fabulous people to smoke the Hobohookah and take part in inspiring conversation til 6 in the morning.

-Started reading the book How to Change the World, which I fully plan on doing.

-Got my first speeding ticket in Nebraska, luckily for only $69.00, from a cop who I'm sure was breaking protocol when he made me go sit in his cop car with him. Tried to promote AIESEC to him with the catchphrase "We promote cultural understanding through global exchange," unsuccessfully. Not even the text message warnings were enough to stop Kevin (who was driving the 2nd car) from getting pulled over 3 minutes later, also to be invited back to sit in the cop car and get a warning (no ticket, lucky!) When Kevin mentioned AIESEC the cop said: "Yeah, yeah I already know all about AIESEC." Creating impact? I think so.

-Found out that my dad periodically google searches my name, which led me to google search my name (not all of the Molly Reddy's listed are me), where I found out that my blog got linked in the Isthmus, a Madison newspaper, one time. I'm impressed with myself, not gonna lie.

-watched fireworks

-Got hit on by a 39 year old man who tried using the pick up line: "I want this night to end in one of two places: a hot tub or Vegas" (He was unsuccessful.)

Here's to a year of decision-making that leads to amazing places conducive to living the dream. Cheers!
