The Year 2009

The Year 2009

Wow wee what a year! I can't believe that a whole year has already gone past!

What is even more scary is the fact that I have now lived through 2 decades. I was born at the start of the 'nineties' (such horrible fashion) and then lived through the 'naughties' (which at the beginning had its own fashion crimes). But what makes me feel really old is when I look at my i pod and it has a playlist called '90s classics', like wow, the nineties are classics now? before it was like the eighties or seventies...

So another year has gone past and what a year it was too.

for me the year 2009 will be remembered for the following things:

• I went to varsity for the first time
• I finally got my drivers license
• I met some really awesome friends (Tim, Tom, Matt, Rigs, Binks, Nic, and so many more)
• The person I was together with for almost 2 years and I, had a break up
• I became closer friends with my best friend in the whole world
• I nearly lost the same friend, when she got struck by lightening
• I found out my sister was going to live in France for a year
• I taught piano to lots of children, and had to run a piano school on my own for 4 months
• I failed a subject for the first time in my life
• I lost a great grandfather, an aunt, and two close friends
• I had to give my rabbits away to a zoo farm
• I started to blog (';')
• I started pilates and jogging every morning
• I took part in my first figure skating show
• I began to tackle my dream of becoming a fashion designer by studying fashion design part time
• I finally found myself
• I learnt to appreciate life and now I absolutely love it, my new saying is "isn't life wonderful?"

In retrospect 2009 was a wonderful time for me, even though there were some really dark moments, it turns out that we can all cope with what life throws at us...

So now that the decade is over (the decade that many people thought would never even come along), here's to another one, one which I will exit from being a lot a lot older, something I don't even want to think of!

soooo...

Happy New Years everyone! May it be fantastic and blessed, and in every way 2010 times better than 2009
