As with a thread created by Blue Velvet about what you did in 2007, the 2009 version ( I started ) is here!

2009 was the year I..

Got a 32GB iPhone 3GS.
Got a 17" UMBP.
Got a master's degree in Mathematics and Biology.
My aunt passed away. :(
Moved out and found a beautiful girlfriend.
Got a BMW M3.

What about you?
 
I got my first full-time job.
I got accepted into university.
I loved and lost.
I met my best friend.
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder.
My cat and dog died.
My family got a new kitten.
My new aforementioned kitten was attacked by a low-life that lived nearby and suffered a broken leg when he was only four months old, luckily he's all better now.
I got my first iPhone, a black 3GS.
I got my second Mac, a 15.4" unibody MBP.
I turned 18 and therefore became legal.
I got my drivers license.

Pretty big year...
 
2009

The year the best job I ever had ended when the Rocky Mountain News closed up shop.
The year my car got repossessed due to the above. Never lost a car in this way.

I don't need anymore bad things the rest of the year. PLEASE.
 
2009 was the year that I failed my Maths GCSE for the 6th time, missed out on a Job (which would of sent me around the world), went back to College, broke my iPhone 3 times and went on holiday for most of summer instead of doing what I was suppose to be doing for College prep :p

Oh and before the year ends I'll be 18 and allowed to Drink/Smoke (legally :p )
 
2009 was the year I;

Went to my first funeral
Got my first real job
Sold my first commercial game
Set up an independent game studio (not related to the real job)
Weighed more than 10 stone
Went canoeing
 
2009 was the year:
my wife got laid off
My girls turned 3


That's about it for me - the wife and I are on survival mode right now trying to keep our heads above water until she lands a job. My focus has been on my girls, making sure they have all that they need.
