I think I had a pretty good year though it was marred a little towards the end, but overall it was about 85% good! :D A large part of that contributed by finishing my 3rd year well, also good studying, getting to know nice people, yummy food, productive shopping (:p) and having a healthier lifestyle haha :D 15% of homesickness, sucky clinic days, bad internet connection (lol) and some bad vibes here and there.

2011 was a year of well... growing up. Or rather, coming to the realisation that I had to. (whether I did or not is entirely a different matter! :p hahaha) Something I'm still coming to terms about... keeping by the principle, but not entirely sure if I want to. I guess we'll just see how the next few years play out :)

But overall, I guess I had a pretty great 2011!
To an awesome-r 2012!!! :D take care people!
