Another year...

Today is my last day of being 20 years old. Two decades. That's AGES but I don't feel as old as I should. But I guess I do act a lot older, sometimes. In the close-to-middle-age kind of way.

Anyway. The year has been quite an eventful one. Last year of my degree. Finally started getting good marks. Pracs were awesome. Talked to lots of people about Honours. Finally moved closer to uni. The whole 'think positive' thing finally clicked. Got an Honours offer. Missed the enrollment date, so probably won't be able to do it in 2011, lol. The maternal wants me to marry the son of some family friend of hers (NO WAY IN THE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN UNIVERSE). Finally opened my tin bank which my uncle had bought for each of us back when I was 6. Didn't put anything into it for years, then in the last year or so put a lot of effort (i.e. change) into it. It yield at worthy $328, minus about $40 for all of the 'special' money (special edition coins, overseas money, 1 and 2 cent coins from here in Aus).

Made friends, lots touch with others, met people, stressed heaps, learned lots. Suppose that's really the only thing you can ask for in life, that you'll be busy and learn from it all.

I don't really celebrate birthdays, have never really thought of them as special. Age is just another thing you can't help, really. But now I've decided to use any excuse to celebrate life and hang out with awesome people, so I guess I can use birthdays as another chance to be extra-happy.

Like always, the year has flown by, so there's not much more I can really say, hey? But I survived and enjoyed (most of) it. Should get started on some baking now.

Peace and love,
