(I forgot to mention the apple cider. How much of a coincidence was that?)
2012 has been an interesting year. Way better than 2011, that's for sure. Last year, too much happened too quickly. It was like bam-bam-chokeslam. It was all too emotionally-laden for me, and I become broody and all that crap. 2011 kinda spilled over in the start of 2012, but thankfully, all that got overshadowed by school and the anxiety about the end of my education. School ended, I brooded and moped around for a bit, I went to Spain and while there, I got over you completely. I definitely credit all the alcohol I consumed there for that. Bumping into you right before I left was a stroke of luck. It put into perspective everything we were and weren't. I love that life after graduation has been a series of drunken events. It started with Spain and it was non-stop after that. At least I feel that I have lived it up this year. Who cares if it's not what I should have been doing after finishing school? Who will fucking care next year or 10 years later? We're young and this sense of our immortality will only last for so long.
The second half of 2012 has been pretty amazing. Attended my graduation ceremony, which was honestly a surprise. Then right after, I met a boy. Okay, to be more accurate, I had seen him before and then when I saw him again, I mentioned it to a friend, who despite my vehement objection, conspired with another friend to set us up on a date. Best first date I've ever had. I like how easy it is to be out with him. I love how open he is because I never feel like I am prying. His wholesomeness makes me really happy. The latter half of 2012 is significant for me personally because it has been the first time that I feel like a legit adult. That the different versions of myself in university have melded into one. My desires and goals are clearer now. I feel that partly it was graduation, partly him and the rest, the brain catching up with the age. This part of the year has also been a time of firsts. Mostly relating to the boy, but still. I view them as significant.
2013 will start off with my entry into the working world (hurrah!). Though that is exciting, the possibilities, the things to learn and figuring out if this chosen path is the right one for me, all I can think about now is how I'd like this year to end. 31st December 2012 will must be a day to be remembered.
