The Long and The Short of 2010.

I was in the process of writing a post of my 2010, a list if you may, of the great things that happened to me. I realized that it was extremely boring for me to WRITE never mind have someone else read, so I've decided to put my 2010 on fast track and give the fastest run down of my 2010 I possibly can!

Okay, GO.

January.

I spent my January of course, in school starting my second semester at SFU. I also spent it preparing for the ever looming Olympics. I got excited!!

February.

February was SUPER exciting - the Olympics were amazing. I don't think I'll forget the billion high fives, random O' Canada outbursts on public transit and in the middle of the streets, and I will never forget watching Sidney Crosby score that Gold Medal winner! I am so glad I was old enough to appreciate it!


March.

In March my family and I moved into a new aparetment. It's really nice here, and we were lucky to find such a great place to live! While I would like to move out eventually, it's certainly a great place, and my family was very lucky to find it! Moving is a big, long process, but to have all our stuff out of storage was great. I won't lie though, I may have a box or two still in my closet... Haha!

April.

April gave me something great - my boyfriend Alex. Depending on who you ask, we may or may not have been together much longer than this, but WE decided it was official in April, so that's what counts! April was the start of something that still remains great, and something I'm proud to be a part of!

May.

In May I gained my freedom and the government decided that I was fit to drive by myself. Getting my N definitely changed my year, and I'm so glad I finally sucked it up and got behind the wheel and learned how to drive!


June.

June was sweet, I turned 19 which makes me legal to drink in BC, and I got my first credit card which was maybe a bad idea, but oh well! June also was the start of the World Cup of Soccer which was a lot of fun! Picking teams and getting into a sport was great after the Olympics, and after Canucks fans didn't really get their playoff run that they were hoping for! Can't wait until 2014 - World Cup Brazil!



July.

In July, Alex and I took our first weekend trip together to Seattle, and it was great! We had a lot of fun (despite getting lost) and it was really cool to explore the city, go shopping down there, and spend some good quality time together. I'm hoping we make this kind of trip an annual thing, but we'll see what happens! It was a lot of fun though! =)

Isn't the giant table awesome? Seattle Science Center, it's a really cool place for photos!

August.

August was beautiful, except for the only day it rained - of course it was on the wonderful wedding day of our friends Taren and Leigh! It's only natural that it would happen, right? Despite that, they weathered the storm, and had a VERY beautiful wedding! Love always prevails - even on the cloudiest of days =)








P.S. Their photographer was brilliant!
September.

At the end of August, I quit my job of the last 4 years and started my new job in September. I quite like my new job, and it was a smart change for me! I also started at SFU Woodwards, and while that venture didn't last very long, the campus is beautiful and an amazing place to learn in. The facilities are amazing, and if you have the energy to go to university for fine arts, consider SFU and it's amazing new location. It's beautiful, full of talented people, and has tonnes of space filled with inspiration. But it wasn't for me.



October.

October was... I don't remember. It was good I think. I quit school, I decided I was going to be a hair dresser, and I applied to hair school! I got accepted to the Vancouver Hairdressing Academy, and I start this coming April. That may have been in November... but it doesn't really matter!

November.

November gave me this blog, and really started my chronicles again. I think blogging is important, at least it's important to me. It gives me a place to share with my friends and family my life, my loves and the things that are happening to me. It also gives me a place to riot against the things I hate about this world, and raise awareness to you about the things that drive me crazy in this world. This blog was a great idea for me, and I'm glad that I was able to start one up again!

December.

Obviously December just happened, and anything exciting would have been posted to my blog but a brief recap obviously includes Christmas! Christmas was great, and I posted a lot about it. December also brought New Years which was great! I love starting a new year, it's like starting fresh, but not really.. you know? New Years was great - and I'm so glad 2011 is here so I can enjoy it to it's fullest!

The cool people I got to spend the last hours of 2010 and the first hours of 2011 with! =)

And now here we are. January 4th, 2011. I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your new year, and that you had a great end to your 2010! =)

Blog, and be happy!
