Defying Fortune

Another Ending. A New Beginning.

What a year.

A bit of bust blogging wise, but it has been quite a ride all the way around.

There has been definite good (got to be with my significant other for two weeks, visited Belfast and fell in love with the city, made some new friends along the way, realizing I can't get drunk, finding out that I've got a lot more strength than I thought I had...) and there has been some definite bad (sole person to witness a heart attack, witnessing my grandfather go through a seizure, defining my relationship with my significant other, having a little major minor break down during my fall semester, increase in insomnia, failing a class for the first time...).

This year marks the first time I've taken a long, leave of absence from WDC. It was necessary. Something, that while couldn't be helped, really put things into perspective. I love it here. This place has gotten me through some of my hardest times throughout the past couple of years, but I found that I couldn't continue on with something I loved when everything else around me was falling to bits.

2010 was trying, but I survived. And you know what they say about surviving.

The next year should prove to be interesting. In the works is an out-of-state move to Washington, a transfer to a new college, rebuilding my social structure once again, finding a part-time job in the fall, possibly heading out to the Mid-West to see a certain someone, finally taking the plunge and writing a non-Nano novel for a change, and what ever else shenanigans that will be coming my way.

2011 is a new year and the start of something completely different. I'll be starting a new blog to keep everything fresh, so if anyone is still reading keep a look out. May you find many smiles and blessings this coming year.
