Recap of 2005..

Posted Sunday, January 8th 2006

When trying to put 2005 in perspective, I’m a bit blown away by the sheer number of things that have happened to me, good or not. I try to keep a positive and optimistic attitude towards pretty much everything, and in retrospective, 2005 was not a bad year. I’m actually quite happy with how everything turned out.

I mean, I graduated, for fucks sake. I officialy hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science. It’s a huge thing for me, and a bit scary. It just feels.. humongous! And right now, I’m attending postgraduate studies to get my MSc in Software Engineering & Telecommunications, and everything is going pretty good. I’m a bit amazed - who’da thought?

I got to intern at a software development company, and I met some great people while there. There’s a good chance I might work there in the future, and I’d be pretty happy there.

New Year’s was pretty good. It didn’t go exactly as planned, but pretty good nonetheless. Me and a few of my closest friends at my place, enjoying some drinks and food, then off to a very good drum n bass party, and then off to find my girlfriend. Again, not exactly as I would have wanted it to happen, but pretty good.

I learned a lot this year. I learned a lot about people and a whole lot about myself. A lot of people helped with that along the way, and I’m gratefull to all of them.

My brother got married, and he and his wife are expecting a kid. A boy!

On a slightly sadder note, my older cat, Tippy, died at the age of 17. Her death was devastating, although she did live a happy life. She’s gone, but never forgotten.

I also crashed the car, but managed to walk out completely unharmed. Car’s been fixed since. My ego is still slightly bruising.

One of the best things to happen was meeting Ema. She’s made things so much better for me. I miss you E!
