As I was discussing a few blogs ago this year may have been the best year of my life. Aside from the secondary school years and the sometimes happy sixth form years, the multiple hare brained adventures of university and my brief spell in Scarborough in 2009 where I met my first ever love; this year has been the one.
January
It started with a relaxing year and then it happened. I was accepted onto a PGCE course (fair enough I now know this was the worst decision but will talk about that later) and therefore I was happy that the universe had decided for me. It wasn't going to be Psychology, it was going to be teaching. And for some reason they thought I was right for the course despite my sincere doubts. I often wonder where I'd be if I hadn't got on to the course but maybe that's best for another blog.
I passed my driving test. I managed it with three minors despite driving the worst I had ever driven, including rolling back and forgetting what I was doing mid-maneuver. But I did it and I got the certificate to prove it. So bye bye annoying driving instructor and hello being able to hit the road. Except the car I was promised never came and I am no longer further forward.
I also started a new job - working as a shelving assistant in the library. Despite sounding like the most tedious job in history it was great fun getting to know everyone. A fantastic working atmosphere with no stressors and no wanting to punch bosses! My first satisfying job!
February and March
February passed with little to show for it in the way of my memory. It was spent working. Not much really to add to it. And I feel so bad cos this was while I was still with my ex, there must have been a hundred things we did. But I struggle to remember much :( Probably because I spent the majority of the time gaming!!
April
My birthday month. What a night that was. After a month of not drinking me and my friend hit the pubs for our joined birthday and HELLO three day hangover!!! First time walking into the pub that will forever be close to my heart now. Bumping into an old flame that keeps burning and realising that for once he was single, but I still wasn't. But I pulled myself together, thinking about my then current boyfriend and thinking 'I made the right decision'.
May
Is the month I will always remember where I got the bottle to tell my parents about my boyfriend. Having concealed it from them for 2 years I managed to literally spit it out, and tbh they were alright with it. It went a lot better than I assumed.
June
Passed in it's summery silence. Seeing the Olympic torch was definitely a highlight. And wasn't this the month of the Jubilee? A fantastic Royal extravaganza.
July
The month it all changed. Anything I knew changed, and I changed. It was the month of the Olympics. The month me and my friend decided to start going to a pub quiz. I spent hours sat on my bottom reading for my course and watching hours of the Olympics.
Olympics
They were only on for just over 2 weeks. In those two weeks I went from being mildly happy to ecstatic. From the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony. Time changed. Thursdays became the day I lived for.
August
August 9th. The day my life flipped. My gran went into hospital and my boyfriend headed to the North East at the same time a conversation happened that changed everything.
August 11th. The first day I ever saw a dead person :'(
August 12th. Olympic Closing Ceremony. The day my heart broke out of a casing.
August 22nd. The day I said good bye to my Gran forever
August 23rd. The day my heart started mending in pieces.
August 24th. The day I stood in the graveyard in the rain.
August 26th. The day I got to hug my best mate after everything that had happened.
September
The month where I lost the boyfriend I had for 2 and a half years. Stood on a platform waiting for the train to take me back home. The month I realised that, though I hate this town, this town is most definitely my home.
September 5th. The day I cried, the day I smiled.
September 7th. The day I knew my heart was going to mend.
September 17th. The start of my course.
September 22nd. The date that ended wrong.
September 24th. The date that ended right and the week we saw too much of each other.
October
Endless frustration and endless happiness
November
The month it began.
November 1st. The pub shuts
November 10th. The day I chose the person I wanted.
November 12th. The day it was official. The day I was happy. The day I was shocked.
The month I knew I hated my course.
December
December 25th. The first Christmas I spent with a boyfriend.
December 27th. The night that made my life.
December 31st. The night that I will spend with the person I want to spend the rest of my year with and I can't wait!
So my New Year's Resolutions from last year:-
2012 New Years Resolutions
1. To establish a 10 year plan
2. To cut down to a healthier size
3. To pass my driving test and have my own wheels
4. To start travelling
5. To learn a new skill
1) I'm kind of on a 10 year career path. If I choose to take it
2) Thanks to my hectic year I've cut down 2 sizes completely unintentionally!
3) I passed my driving test, just waiting for the wheels...
4) I travelled to London/Essex/Newcastle but haven't been anywhere new. I've travelled more emotionally than anything else.
5) I learnt a new skill - I learnt to follow my heart and not my head.
