Looking Back on 2009

Ah, 2009! It caught Tom and I by surprise as we lined up to enter a countdown party — the actual counting down had began inside so those of us lining up just counted down together and proceeded to hug each other as we welcomed the new year.

It’s definitely been a chaotic year in every sense of the word, but as usual the memories to go down tend to be the good ones. And with time you can look back and laugh at past misfortunes and be glad that you survived them!

2009:

• Visited my beautiful family in Venezuela and took a mini holiday to the islands.
• Left my teenage years behind and turned 20!
• Finished my semester in Beijing with actually good marks!
• Moved to Madrid; probably the most hectic part of the entire year.
• Went Long Distance.
• Spent part of the summer in France with Tom; probably the best part of the year!
• Started my Psychology degree; loving it.
• Had Tom come over to Madrid and Toledo.
• Saw Tom in London and Cardiff. Amazing time but a bit too rainy for my taste…
• Had an amazing Christmas with family!

What has 2009 brought for you?
