last thoughts of 2009

So tomorrow is New Year's Eve and as always we're doing a murder mystery party which will be good...but it makes for a busy day so I'm sure I won't blog tomorrow therefore I thought I'd blog today :)

Especially since I've been reading some other blogs, including one or two about a new blog project (indievisualjournal.blogspot.com) where people are going to draw/photograph/be creative every day for the whole of 2010. Which I have to say I am inspired by...and I'll admit I contemplated joining in...but I know myself and I can barely blog once a week, let alone blogging something every day! Unfortunately my life is just far too busy with university and placement at the moment to take on something else!
However I am determined to try and be more dedicated to this blog, to try and not just moan but to write a bit more often about random and wonderful things.

I'm trying to think back over the last year...and I've just read some of my blogs from this past year...and wow was that a blast from the past...working through january, sinusitus in february, godzone sleepover in march, bridesmaids dress shopping in april, assignments in may, ruth's wedding dress fitting in june, america and grandpa in july, august was new wine and holiday club, my birthday, ruth's wedding and back to uni in september, october/november/december are all a bit of a placement and uni blur!

Ah well...it's over now, next semester is still busy but not as crazy :)

Lows of 2009: sinusitus, grandpa dying, panic about staying in oxford, lots and lots of work.
the lowest has to be the rollercoaster of Grandpa's death, not quite sure how Grandma has kept going but so far she has, I think being in the nursing home has helped.

Highs of 2009: everything wedding related (dress shopping, dress fittings, hen night, the wedding itself), being at uni and loving it, new housemates, new friends, a good summer.
the highest has to be university...despite the amount of work I love every minute of it, it's exactly the job I'm supposed to be doing and there is something amazing about enjoying the work that you do.

Another thing I think it's important to mention, which I just realised I hadn't blogged about...I stayed in Oxford :D just for one night and I haven't managed to do it again because it was right at the end of term. But I did it and it was alright. I think because we have a new plan for next year I was able to take the pressure off myself a bit.

Well...this blog has taken alot longer to write than I'd planned but I really enjoyed reading my blogs back and reliving 2009.
Tomorrow I will see in 2010 and I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing what next year has in store...I am half way through my degree and loving it...bring on the next year :D

Much love xxx
