Jumps on the bandwaggon
Lots of people on my friendslist seem to be doing end-of-year posts, so here's mine:
♥ Happy New Year! ♥
I'm quite looking forward to 2007, despite the odd worries. Which are all to do exclusively with uni, so we can brush that under the carpet for now - I'm still on holiday! :D
So, 2007 is nigh and I'm feeling good about it. :) 2006 was, well, as good and as bad as all other years really.
The Bad Stuff (in the order I thought of them):
- I started out being ill from the end of the Christmas holidays to the beginning of the Easter holidays, which involved much feeling crap and vastly extended essays.
- I broke up with Stephen in February
- The whole being-in-love-with-someone-I-can't-have thing got slightly out-of-hand, and was compounded by various other problems to do with relations with certain men of my aquaintance.
- I didn't get as much work done as I would have liked
- My lappy had to have two destructive system restores done before it stopped turning itself off and losing me my work and msn conversations and so on
- I wasn't able to get to Finland to visit Heidi or to the US for Ian and Buffy's wedding
- A couple of my friends have really hurt me this year
- Not everyone I wanted to be there was able to make my birthday party
- I wasn't able to be as active on the Plaza as I wanted to be, which begins the fade to all the little things that have irritated/angered/made me upset over the course of the year, which need not be listed here. Like the UCS.
The Good Stuff (following the order of the above):
- After that first term I only got Freshers' Flu once in September, and was pretty much free from all physical ills the rest of the year, aside from skinning my knee four times, which I quite enjoyed for the ridculousness :D
- I broke up with Stephen in February
- One of my old crushes from back when I was about 15 is single, and turns out I'm still fairly attracted to them, so that's a possible. My godmother's nephew who kissed me over the summer is also a possible, and there's the brother of a friend who might be interested in me as well. :D True they're all long-distance, but we'll see what happens :)
- I got all my essays in eventually, and got 69 for the year overall (one mark off a First), and that's without the mark for my Fieldwork and Excavation module. And I still have plenty of time for the 13000 words and my diss, so that's all good
- My lappy is all happy now (touch wood)
- I had a great time over the summer at Joust, Sidmouth, with Bea, visiting Grandma, meeting up with Star and Laila, meeting up with Fairy, Pippit, John and others.
- I have a wonderful group of very good and close friends who love me
- I turned 21 and had a great time, and I'm enjoying it, though it does scare me sometimes!
- I got an SCR on the Plaza, and wrote an article for the MeM and got tribbed for it too :D Which trails off into all the little good things that happened. Like compliments :)
So, pretty even then :) Ok, so I tend to complain on here more than I bounce, but I do bounce a lot - just ask Ed and anyone who was at Helen's birthday party! And looking back at 2006 from here, it's the recent stuff that tends to stick in the mind, and the last part of this year wasn't nearly as good as the summer. But all years are like that - some up, some down. And 2006 was one hell a lot better than 1996 ever was! That year has to have been one of my worst - Dad's alcoholism reached it's worst, culminating in his having three epileptic fits in front of me and going into rehab when I started high school. I was 11.
Overall? 2006 had its ups and downs, and I'm hoping 2007 will be more up than down. :) I'm not necessarily glad this year is nearly over, but nor am I particularly sad. Years pass, we got older, and life goes on - I for one plan to enjoy it :D
