So once again, we’re faced with a new year. Every new year people start to have hope for a new future, change, all that kind of stuff. Personally, I don’t really care. But January 1st is always a good day to look back at the past year and remember all the experiences – 2011 being a very hectic, emotional, draining, busy and generally fun year.

Last year I was (un)fortunate enough to be home on New Year and posted a reflection of 2010. This year I’m a bit luckier and will be celebrating that Saturday, so I’ve queued the world’s longest blog post to go over the past year and some of it’s highlights. It’s crazy not only how many things happened, and not only how often my hair changes, but how different it was to 2010 and how much I’ve grown up.

So here we have it, my friends, 2011!

Aw, look at me, so nostalgic. 2011 was immense. 2012 will bring a lot of firsts too – university, (hopefully) new friends and many of great new experiences. But more importantly, how was your 2011?

Carry the Banner – The Flatliners

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while – and I mean a while – you may recall that a while ago a friend of mine had to move to Spain. That was last August, and a lot for her has changed. The point being, however, is that for the Holiday season, she’s come back to Australia with her boyfriend and sister, so the other day we had a barbeque (typically Australian) to bring the gang together and see her again. It was nice, she’s still the same which is kind of funny. The night turned interesting too with failed trips to the City and other shenanigans, but y’know, all fun and games.

Christmas is sneaky soon, too. We got HSC exam results back this week as well and I did well enough! I’m pleased so hopefully university will want me! In the mean time I’ll be home all day playing the Sims and trying to recover from a horrible Summer cold. Life is a cruel mistress.

Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo – Bloodhound Gang

Being home from the coast has actually been not as bad as I expected. Y’know that post holiday depression, being so used to living without parents and then BAM back at home? The first few days sucked, but it’s been good.

Now that I’m 18 I’m finally able to star going out clubbing/bar hopping/whatever you want to call it. Been to a few places these past few days and it’s been really fun, surprisingly became better friends with people I was only vaguely friends with before. Meeting new people out is always interesting, too. It’s basically been a complete change from everything I’d been used to, actually acting old.

Ah well, things have been fun. Changed my hair once again, as you can see. Though HSC results come out tomorrow. And then university applications will come through. And then work has been hell. Swings and roundabouts, really.
