New Year's Day 2010
From an email that Shirin sent to the rest of the team, plus coaches:
"As a report on how sad our lives are, at 9.30pm on New Year's Day, Shirin and Sarah in the moot room find an article on point on (one issue) as an exception to (an area of law) obligations, and scream and laugh hysterically and hug each other. Sarah turns red. And is still laughing.
Happy new year!"
I spent the first half of the year leading the carefree life of an exchange student, and the last half the frenetic life of a mooter. I'm blessed to have both experiences. I've learnt a lot: legal learning, the learning that goes with leading the independent lifestyle overseas, and even a bit more of self-knowledge. I've learnt a bit more about the boy who features most prominently on my Skype history.
But most of all, 2009 is a year where I learnt things that make me cherish God more. A lot of what I learnt was not in spite of the pain I've experienced in 2009, but because of it.
So, my one resolution for 2010 is to pray, and plant, my tears.
