Reading my old entries is both inspiringly beautiful and tragically heart breaking. But I wouldn't trade a second of heartache, because it helps me learn and grow. I grew up a lot over the past year. I don't think I can break it down into best/worst days, but I have a couple really emotional days.
My first 2011 Journal entry talks of writer's block, love, missing people, lots of thinking and some talk of growing up.
February brings probably one of my biggest relationship moments. When Malcolm told me his secret. This consumes a lot of the next few months. It is momentous, yet exists as only a few moments in the grand scheme of time, and this boggles my mind.
In March I took one of my close friends to the emergency room for depression and anxiety. I had to be strong for her, but on the inside I was freaking out. Everything is fine and this year she is doing fantastically :)
March also brought about the day of Murphy's law. Everything that could go wrong... did. The day I lost my phone and got in a fight with my roommates and who knows what else. But my roomates and I need to get past that to have the happy relationship we have now.
April of course signifies my success at my first year of university! The freedom was delicious, though it was hard to say good bye to all of my new friends.
Most of my summer was completely consumed once again by camp. I grew very close to some camp friends who I will forever treasure.
Standing out from the happy,stressful, colourful blur that is camp are 2 occasions. Harry Freakin' Potter and my birthday. Both were crazy awesome amazing times spent with people who fit the same description :)
September I started school, facing the new adventure of a house! And cooking my own food! and groceries and bills and baking with my roommates and the crazy cat and my new fish, and finally, FINALLY being in the same city as Malcolm.
October passed fairly peacefully - I was settling in nicely, got to see my family for thanksgiving.
Then November was insane but pretty good.
I made my trip down to see Dina and Valerie and my camp friends :) and of course the Starkids! :)
It was in November that I first met the Nerdfighters of my city. And in november when I discovered the joys of Doctor Who.
The one less good point in my month was the death of my great-grandmother, but the circle of life goes on and it gave me opportunities to see family and friends.
December of course is almost entirely consumed by work and exams followed of course by Christmas :)
And a New Year to be rung in with people I love, including the 3 best friends that could ever be asked for.
This is awesome Dawn, with so many 'awwws!'. I enjoyed reading this quite a but.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I could have been a lot more thoughtful now that I read yours though Dawn... I just kind of poked at highlights and general feelings. While I still think my days were sorted right I feel lazy for not saying more, haha!
I like the way you did yours! the lists are a nice way to organize things and they're fun!
