2007: The Year of Lindsay - 3/4 of the Way Done

So, last year I had a look back at 2006 once it was 3/4 of the way through. I'm doing this again, except 2007 is the year of Lindsay and I want to see how true I've stayed to that.

(+) Fell in love with a great guy who saw my darkest, most horrible days and still wanted me.
(+) Branched out friend-wise in Boston and really established a solid network of girlfriends for the first time in my post-academic life.
(+) Got a new job at a start-up.
(+) Was the Maid of Honor in Kristina's wedding.
(+) Was asked to be the Maid of Honor in another friend's wedding.

(+/-) Moved to NYC.

(-) Lost more friends to different coasts and continents.
(-) Realized how much I would miss Boston only after I left.
(-) Finding out that random roommates are not always the best idea and having to live with that for the next 6 months at least.
(-) Hearing that one of my only girlfriends in NYC is leaving in a year.
(-) Not getting into the grad school I wanted to on the first try.

2007 is pretty neck-and-neck so far... the rest of the year has the potential to be amazing or horrific. Stay tuned.
