2011, year of huge disappointments and a dash of happy moments.

With the year coming to an end, it is only natural to start reflecting on all the events that took place since the very first day of January 2011. Normally, December is a gloomy time for me. It is when the realization that nothing has changed hits the hardest. I don't get depressed really - just feel sad that nothing of 365 days ago my life was exactly the same. I don't have any deadlines or specific life goals, but I always wish that the year prior were memorable. This December, however, I have not been feeling the usual pensiveness induced by the coming New Year. I think this is because 2011 was not just another year.

2011. The year I became a second year university student, the year I lost almost all desire to continue my studies. 2011 is also the year I came know that my future career could be at least as important to me as my personal life. 2011 was the year I actually failed to live up my standards in terms of grades at school and most of all I've disappointed my parents. It was the second half of the year I started neglecting my studies -- I couldn't care much. And yeh, the result of it is me failing in my second semester of my second year of university. But, since that day I've been trying to change and I believe I will not repeat my same mistakes. Well I can't just say it or type it out, but I will definitely take recovery steps in turning myself back to the old days. December 2011 is the year where I got to know this girl, and well just like all the guys and girls do sometime time in their life, is fallin' in love.

Well, with all this coming right at the very last few days of December, my summer classes which commences this Wednesday as well as my nearing vacation trip to the Scandinavia, 2011 was a very different year which has affected every aspects of my life. Though 2011 was a year with both failures and happy times and definitely not a perfect one (in terms of university results) it was good enough to eliminate that feeling of mind numbing monotony that I usually have this time of the year...
