Goodbye 2010.
Okay so now I'm done suitably sulking and having my ego preened over the voice post - seriously guys thank you [kisses for all] - I feel more up to discussing 2010 coming to an end and what possibilities 2011 could hold.
Dec 30th saw the day starting like any other and ending with me broken down at the side of the bypass at 18:30 waiting for my parents to come and rescue me. We think my throttle cable broke but we don't know and considering that it's NYE the garage was a little nonchalant about giving me any kind of guidance as to when the car would even be looked at. >.< Oh my poor baby! Et tu Clio?!
So what did 2010 bring?
I got my teaching qualification which means I'm one step closer to becoming a full fledged teacher. I started my Masters in Education, so I will be the second person in the family to have a that level of qualification by the time 2011 comes to an end - my Uncle who is a Doctor is the only other person which for my family is kind of a big thing. - Matt and I survived our first whole year from January 1st to December 31st without breaking up, falling out or killing each other. Seriously! For me? That's pretty darn amazing considering the number of my friends who have broken up with their significant others this year. I've met and spoken to some AMAZING people this year and will have the pleasure of meeting some more of them in 2011 (OMG I'm so nervous!)
Okay so I didn't get a job in teaching this year and money has been pretty darn tight. Gran won the case against the evil neighbour but not the money because her Solicitor is a cheating, manipulaitve evil person. And Barnaby dropped out of college. I've not travelled abroad to see the world like I planned and I've lost some important people in my life due to arguments that now, looking back seem pretty petty. Depression has been hard to deal with but just accepting the fact that I've got it and I've got to deal with it? Well it's a start right?
So yeah, 2010 wasn't that horrendous really in retrospect. Sure, there are some things that I wish were different but I've always told myself not to have regrets in life because that means I have to admit to mistakes and in life there are no real mistakes. You make a choice based on the circumstances and do what seems right at the time. People might get hurt, heck you might even get hurt but in the end it makes you who you are.
In light of all this I'll take my highs, my lows, my battles won and wars lost, my hours of stressing, sleepless nights and lazy mornings in bed and bid adieu to 2010. Because what does living in the past achieve? I can't change it but I sure as hell can use it to help me move forward.
And on that note I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
