Karma owes me.
I usually think that 'round-up' type things are pretty lame, but I guess I had better sign this year off. Or write it off. One of the two.
So, 2007 eh? It's had its ups and downs. I think the best days this year coincided with the best weather, which is a wonderful example of pathetic fallacy. They were some fantastic times, really, and I'm grateful for those.
In spite of this, I think the downs outweigh the ups, sadly. Some pretty horrendous things have happened in the past 12 months, most of which are common knowledge, and I'll be glad to leave it behind. If nothing else, it's been a learning curve.
How far have I come? I think I've lost some of the desire to wander that I had before, and it's good to be settled and know where I can call home for the next couple of years. In a similar way, I've grown up a lot, got a little wiser. I also think I've cemented some great friendships and I've thoroughly enjoyed what I'm doing at Uni.
However, I've made some pretty naive and some really rather costly mistakes, some of which are un-fucking-believable on reflection and safe to say, I won't be making them again. I can't.
Roll on 2008 :) Happy new year!
