2009 was an interesting year. Lots of really good things happened-- I took lots of fun trips to Disneyland; attended
lydaclunas's wedding, where I got to meet
rj_anderson,
risti,
callyperry, and Melanie aka drummergirl in person for the first time, and see
angua9 again; had my best friend
cuteculturechic move back to Utah; made a few new friends and reconnected with some old ones; spent tons of time with my family, especially my absolutely ADORABLE nieces and nephew; and, most importantly, FINISHED MY THESIS AND THEREFORE MY MASTERS DEGREE!!!!!!
But there were some bad times, too. I struggled with writers' block and depression, I lost a job I really enjoyed in June and still haven't found a new one, and as a result have been unable to pull myself out of debt. But, honestly, the good times have far outweighed the bad, at least in my memory. So I think, in retrospect, 2009 will be remembered as a good year.
That's not to say I'm not looking forward to new and better things in 2010. :) First order of business is to find a job, and work on getting out of debt. I'm also fully committed to being a better friend this year-- both in person and online. And I'm going to work hard to be better with my health-- exercise, sleep, nutrition, the works.
So I hope to see you around a bit more this year. Let's see what new days will bring!
