2010

Well, I have to make one of them sappy posts about the year, as today is the last day of 2010.

Well, it definitely has been a massive year for me. But I can't say I am sad to see it go. My whole life is a lot different to what it was last year, and I have had some of the best times in my whole entire life this year, and also some of the not so great ones. Usually, I am a bit sentimental about saying goodbye to the year that was, but this time around, I am so willing to let go of 2010 and welcome 2011 with open arms. Something about 2011 tells me it is going to be a good one.

So let's see, what have I done this year?

Well, it was the first year living in my new house. And that also means the first year getting used to all this new public transport, all the local shopping centres and hang outs and pretty much adapting to a whole new lifestyle. With Lynbrook being so close to the countryside, and also close to the city, it was weird getting used to both worlds at the same time. But I gotta say, I like it now.

2010 was also the year I started university. Didn't get into the uni I wanted to, but if I had, I wouldn't have met some of the people I have met now. And I wouldn't have been as close with my old friends as I am now. So I am really grateful I didn't get in now that I think about it. I love Monash, it's a great uni with great people and a great environment and I don't want to leave! Good thing I don't have to now! I can say that I really enjoy university, I love it a whole lot more than highschool, but that's not to say that I didn't enjoy high school, BECAUSE I DID! I just like uni more. I can't wait to get back into it. I love the independence that comes along with university, as well as they way they treat you; like adults. Well, for the most part haha. And the social aspect of uni is so awesome too.

Also got a job this year. Even though it only happened towards the end of the year, it's still a whole new experience for me. And I must say, I really enjoy it. I like the people I work with and everyone is just so laid back that sometimes it doesn't even feel like I am working. And it's also good to finally get my own income. Yay for more independence!

And a few other things that have really stood out to me this year was being able to see my favourite band live. TWICE. The second time I saw them was at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. I claim that to be the happiest night of my whole life this far. I will never forget that night. I am not exaggerating, but I could not stop smiling the entire night. So I was pretty much smiling for 3 hours straight haha. Also got to see Tegan and Sara and You me At Six this year as well!

Yeah, so 2010 has brought me some good times. But it was also the year that my favourite band split in half haha. And it was also the year that I had to get used to catching infrequent public transport and long travelling times. Also the year the family business started to go down, and now we have to sell. Also the year my pet Canary, Dew, died.

So 2010 has also brought on some sad times as well, but as you can see, for the most part, it has been a pretty good year. And even though this year has contained the happiest night of my life, it still wasn't a THAT good of a year for me.

I don't really have any new years resolutions this year. I have come to terms with the fact that they always only last through January, and then they seem to disappear. But they are always the same ones; eat well, be a better person etc...

But I was reading a friend's blog, and she said she calls them "new years goals" because it's something you aim to do by the end of the year. And if you fail, it just means you need more time to complete that goal. So, if I had to choose out some goals that I would like to complete by the end of next year, they would go something like this:

- Eat healthier, exercise more
- Put more work in at uni, go to all lectures and study throughout the year
- Stop letting go of opportunities. To many times have gone by where I wanted to say something to someone, or do something, but I always back down and then I regret. I really want to change that
- Start learning more classic songs on the piano
- Don't get emotionally attached to a band ever again

Okay, so the last one isn't really a goal...cause I know I'll never achieve it haha. So yeah, I am hoping 2011 will be an awesome year, and I am looking forward seeing what I write in a blog post like this a year from now!

Happy new year y'all!
