2007, a year in retrospect. Options

[laff09]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but 2007 was probably the worst year in my life. ever.
I've been through a lot of difficult times this year between my family, school and just life I guess..

My parents decided to split up after 20+years of marriage, my uncle was diagnosed and recently passed away from lung cancer, the celica is dead in the driveway- i think the bearings are spun...either way the engine is shot, I was dismissed from school, and wrecked a 2006 Tundra into a telephone pole after losing control on ice/slick roads...hit the passenger side rear door/corner of the cab..and front fender...bowing the frame of the pass side, and putting a slight kink in the frame on the driverside. Bodyshop gave me an estimate of $5800, and I don't think it would be cost efficient to report it to insurance because i only have 4.5 yrs before my rates drop drastically, well and other incidents on our policy. So now, I'm looking for a job, looking for new schools and trying to decide what the hell I want to do with my life. I don't want to sell myself short now and end up regretting not working harder now later in life when it matters.

Sorry for getting down during the holidays, but I needed to de-stress. I think 2008 holds some promise for me and I'm looking to the future, but I feel like the walls in the pit keep getting higher.. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays all
