The End of Another Year

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, GUYS

I know I've not been Posty McPostersons this winter, but I shall come in the New Year with many goodies and hopefully, a summary of my assessment.

Right now, however, a summary of Personal Life and Other Good Things in 2010. This is a bit early, but our family are hosting Christmas at our place this year so tomorrow's going to be packed! I'm also spending Christmas this year with the wonderful Smaz, who's come to visit, so this year's festivities are going to be truly awesome. :D

- The sweetshop job ... I spoke too soon. Unfortunately, it didn't work out - I didn't get any shifts after December 2009, and only found out that I wasn't returning when I walked into the shop one March afternoon to find my manager training up someone new (aaaawkward). However, I gained another part-time job in an office, and in doing this I've found that working in an office suits me a lot better than retail ever did.

- I turned 19. The celebration was quite small, with some takeout and a delicious cake, just the way I like it.

- I was offered three places at three universities: two conditional, and one unconditional.

- I've moved out of the family home, and into student accommodation (the kitchen's a joint responsibility with flatmates to keep clean and in order, but I still love taking care of my own little room and bathroom, it's great).

- I gained a Pass in my Foundation Diploma. I loved this course to bits, and don't regret taking it one bit. The knowledge gained there is helping me out a lot with my university work.

- Speaking of university, I'm studying Visual Communication, and loving it!

- I marched with 50,000 other students for the NUS Demo 2010 against the huge increase in tuition fees, and huge cuts in education funding - complete with homemade placard.


I hope, dear watchers, wherever you are, that you have a great holiday - and I'll post again in 2011 (wow, where did the year go? I can't quite believe it's Christmas Eve already!). I'm off to watch the traditional family film - The Muppets' Christmas Carol.
