What did we just miss?

So another year passes by and what a year it has been, there's always up and downs but some stand out more than others. I believe I speak for many when 2008 will be a year that will be ingrained in our memories.. here is a list of events that will stand out for me and most likely some others.

- I started my new course at uni.
- Fidel Castro, president of Cuba resigns.
- Kevin Rudd leads sorry day.
- China experiences an 8.0M earthquake and nearly 80,000 die.
- The Beijing olympics that were full of upsets and surprises in themselves.
- The global economy crisis which will effect us for a while to come
- Barack Obama becoming the first african-american president-elect.
- NO MORE GEORGE BUSH

RIP
- Granddad
- Aunty Jui
- Heath Ledger: Australian actor.
- Edmund Hillary: First man to climb Mt. Everest.
- Roy Scheider: Main actor in Jaws.
- George Carlin: American comedian
- Isaac Hayes: Voice of Chef on south park and musician
- Bernie Mac: American comedian and actor.

Many other events will remain in our mind and hearts and some will stand out more than others, if people want to pay respect or point out any big event that I missed then feel free to comment.
