How's Your 1st Half of 2008?

Well my first half of the year wasn't brilliant but it has had its ups and downs. It started very bad as my mum was very ill and staying with me and she sadly passed away in Febuary, hence a very bad couple of months that followed. Although I think of her daily and miss her loads, I realised that life went on and made some drastic decisions and took on a new job. I have one job in a day nursery, so I took on a job to train as an assessor at the college which means assessing students in childare. It is going slowly during my training, but was the best news of the first part of the year. I can't believe we are already into the second half of the year already. My birthday is in June, so I always use that as a year milestone, and it is flying past since my birthday

for this half years in 2008 i got promoted twice :o) from senior to manager~ finally! and got about 50% salary raised!

My life doesn't have a big change. However, there are many big news happened to my country. Such as the snow disaster and especially the earthquake. It made me very sad. We need to be cheered up and I hope the Olympics will make a better rest of 2008. I love China

I'm not sure how I feel about the first half of 2008. There are good and bad things that have happened in my life and around me... just life stuff. I'm having an "off day" today, so at this very moment, I feel as though the first 1/2 of 2008 is crappy. But yesterday I had a lot of fun with a good friend, and felt so happy and content with everything. Overall there are still many things in my life that I need to change, to better myself and my life with my sons. So until I get a move on with that, I think I will be less than satisfied, no matter where in the year I am.

Well January wasn't the best but it was a new start not only to the year but between me and my current boyfriend. The first half of 2008 was very good for me and I hope the last half of 2008 would follow in it's footsteps. I think this year is probably the best year I have been having since I've been alive. Everything seems to be going better and better each day which is good because after the last few months of 2007 I could definitely use having this change of luck! Well so far for the beginning of the ending half of 2008 is going swell for me and I know it will continue that way (just thinking positive) Nice discussion thought because I really did not sit and think about it so much till I saw your question. Thanks!

Well, so far it has had it's ups and downs. My family and I have gone through some changes during the course of the year. We just moved to Alabama about two and a half months ago. It is very hot here. There is quite a bit of humidity. It can be uncomfortable sometimes. I do like the area. I lived in Pennsylvania before we moved here. I am just hoping the remaining part of the year turns out a little better.

Funny I was just thinking how this year is already half over. My first half of 2008 was great. My daughter treated me to a scrapbooking retreat, and I got to visit her for a week. We started back to work mid-March, I work seasonal wildland firefighter for the forestry. First month back to work was good, busy, and then I was injured on a fire we were working in mid-April. I was going to go right on working, but because there was no light duty work, my chief put me on medical leave. So I have been on leave since the end of April. The injury was to my left wrist, and after seeing a specialist (finally!) I have a MRA (mri but with dye shot in) this coming Tuesday, and then I go back to the doc Aug 5th, so then I'll know more of just how long I'll be out of work. But, it has given me time to work on scrapbooking (not easy one-handed lol) and I've even sold some scrapbook albums! So first half of 2008 hasn't been so bad

Hi... For my 1st half of 2008, it was pretty worst for me because I was not really happy with my job due to some people and I had frequent quarrels with my parents also.. My relationship with my girlfriend was also not that good but lets hope for a better second half of the year... Good luck to all people here too...

i think the `1st half of this year went okay. i have to admit it sure went by fast. u know before i know it will be a new year.

Hello,Queen! The first half of 2008 was good for me with no major problem of health and financially i was sound.and hope the best during the second half.God is over head to help me.thanx.

No so bad really. It's always a struggle financially and this year is no different.

I can honestly say mine hasn't been like you just won the lottery type year so what does that go to show you. Jan and Feb were alrght I guess but after that it went down hill from there. I know we should be happy and thankful for every year I am don't get me wrong it's just I think we all aim towards the negitive rather than the positive when every year comes around. I hope that the ending part will be alot better it's getting there slowly maturely.

In my half year of 2008 wasn't great also.. In the beginning of the year, I can say that I am happy because I will be graduation after 4 years in college but the sadness thing was my boyfriend can't march together with me because his thesis wasn't finished...After the graduation, I though I would be happy because I am already free but then I was wrong.. The more I am stocked with the kind of life I had because I realized that I don't know what I want and I am not yet ready to face the real world.. I had easily find a job, I though I am lucky but I am not happy with the job I have.. I don't know why... Then many problems had come until know.. The problem had never stop and never solve... So, I conclude that this year is ready not a lucky year for me and for my family.. This is the more unlucky year that we have and I wish that by the end of this year, everything will change and our problems will already solve..

My first half of 2008 was pretty good. It was steady. School was going well. I got pretty good grades, and met some new freinds. I got an iPhone and that's all great and all but I just don't like 2008. Gas prices going bad, and this whole bad economy deal is annoying.

Monitarily, it was scary. I didn't have enough money to pay my bills so I had to liquidate assets. My original part-time job downsized me from 20 hours to 16 and then to 12 and threatened to go to 10. Then it got busy, I now have three part-time jobs. Family wise, my husband has two weeks off from work so I finally get some time to be with him. Interesting wise, it was very interesting because I learned a lot from the two new jobs. I went from poor to almost enough money (one job pays the gas to get to the other two)and from lots of time to almost no time. Esp. with Mylot and trying to do a garden. Take care

Well, I am really doing good this 1st half of the year. I have been conducting training for first aid and other safety courses which I actually started last year. For this year, the request has been increasing and I think more will be coming by the other half of the year. I have also started doing online programs and I can see that I am doing quite well though not earning that big but at least I am learning each day. So basically this 1st half of the year I have been bless!

First half of 2008 has been excellent for me. I got a new and better job, made new friends, I also became a proud father of a little one. Overall, 2008 is proving good for me. I hope the remaining 2nd half of the year will bring many more good news too! All the best to you. It will bring luck to you too!

I didn't realize half of the year's already over until you mentioned it. LOL. I guess it was that UNeventful. Everything is peaceful and calm I guess. No major problems or dramas, no major highs either. I guess everything great.

my first half isnt going that great because i spent most of it in hospital it only last mouth that i have come home but im still doing hospital visits :(. but yeah other than that its like im losing myself for what i use to be. losing touch of my friends and some of my family.
