The Year in Review
Dec. 31st, 2010 11:00 amTen Things I Did This Year:
1. Wrote the world's worst novel.
2. Wrote a pretty ace independent study project.
3. Worked at a museum over the summer.
4. Decided I do not want to work at a museum for the rest of my life.
5. Did not figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. But I have a plan for next summer and some ideas for next year, so that's a start.
6. Was a bridesmaid. Sort of. It's complicated. But it was fun! I made her a cake!
7. Went to New Zealand.
8. While in New Zealand, experienced an earthquake. This is admittedly not at all my doing, but it's nonetheless kind of cool. My geology professor was totally jealous.
9. Wrote part of a novel that might actually be good, but abandoned it because of seemingly insoluble structural problems. However, I think I've figured out a way around said problems, so my New Year's Resolution is to finish it.
10. Went to the East Coast. I have decided I must go back and actually see the bits that aren't within a twenty mile radius of Northampton.
So a pretty eventful year. It would have been more exciting if the novel had been good and I had decided that museum work was totally my dream job, but hey, now I know two ways not to make a light bulb.
Next year: I will finish the novel that might actually be good! Also, graduate.
