With somewhere around two hours to go until 2012, I feel as though I should reflect on the past year and contemplate my goals for the year ahead.

2011 was, for the most part, a very good year.  In the beginning few months it was slow and steady and I would have liked it to continue that way, but inevitably by the coming of the Summer months, things sped up and I find myself writing in disbelief in the last few hours as though Spring was only a week ago. There have been times this year which have proved difficult to get through, and other times during which I could not have hoped for more happiness in my life.

Highlights of 2011

• Brought in the year with a kiss for the first time in my life.
• My relationship with Marty hit the one year mark, and we’re still going strong with only 21/22 (depending on when you’re reading this) days until we hit two years.  Here’s to us!
• I received a very red mane of hair thanks to my hairdresser’s persuasion and kept the colour until mid-year…
• … And because of this I took part in the Wella Trend Vision contest as a model. 
• I survived my first ever blood-test which, although I did not feel so at the time, I am very proud of for doing despite crying and being deathly afraid.
• Reassuringly found out that I’m not anemic.
• Changed my diet majorly.
• Sat my higher exams… And got reasonably good results.
• Was awarded the prize for higher German and got my hands on Lolita!
• Went on my amazing senior residential trip and thankfully didn’t have to do the marines’ workout!
• Joined the editing team for the school’s Arts & Literature magazine.
• Spent most of the Summer break with Marty for a whole month in which we traveled to Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.  Lots of memories that I won’t forget for a very long time.
• Wrote an almost-novella.
• Nurtured a better relationship with my camera after a series of shoots over my Autumn break.
• Actually attended the Halloween disco as a corpse.
• Helped out in the production of Hooked!.
• Turned Seventeen!
• Decided to do something with my life and after months of procrastination, applied for University.
• Took part in a fashion show.
• Attended the Christmas Dance

In the coming year I would like to…

• get accepted into University.  Or at least be invited to an interview.
• get a job before University.  Or again, at least be invited to an interview.
• get a job during University.  If I get in.
• visit Marty.  If I have the money.  Which requires me to get a job.
• get over my mini fear of transfer flights.
• continue to eat healthily.
• get back into yoga.
• draw more.
• write more.
• read more.
• work more.
• procrastinate less.
• make more friends who are more like myself and who are worth keeping.
• pass my exams… Which should really be at the top of this list considering I want to get into Uni…
• talk to more people on tumblr because I know wanting to meet people in real life is a little far-fetched hehe.
• grow my eggling into a beautiful basil plant

I wish you all an amazing 2012… Happy New Year (when it arrives with you), guys!
