Hmm, my year in review.
~*~Started 2004 in my mom's appartment in Oregon, drinking entirely too much champagne and getting ready for my UKent at Canterbury phone interview.
~*~Back in Alaska, I began a great job at a museum, working in the education department. And was taking graduate art history to prepare for the fall. During this time I served as alumni association rep. for my school's Greek Council.
~*~Had an innocent fling in April with my old physics lab partner from second year.
~*~Went to my sorority formal with my best male friend, and had a great time! Drama ensued at formal which was bad. Received my beautiful handmade graduation stole, which was v. good. I had my Circle Degree, the highest degree of membership in Sigma in April, which was very special.
~*~Walked in graduation in May, even though I graduated in December 2003, with my degree in biology Summa Cum Laude and a university honors scholar, and leadership honors
I was weighed down by all those honor cords, hehe.
~*~Painted four murals over the summer, in return for which I didn't have to pay rent as I was increasing the value of the house. Then in August, a friend and I drove from Alaska, through Yukon and B.C., and caught the ferry down to Washington, then drove to Oregon, where I hung out with my mom for a few weeks. Lef the US for a long time. Spent three weeks travelling around the UK, staying in London, Glastonbury, Bath and Edinburgh before moving into St. Andrews.
~*~Started something with a guy in my building who then decided he fancied me but didn't want a relationship. Then he proceeds to whine about how girls don't fancy the nice guys (bullshit!).
~*~Spend the term writing papers, enjoying Scotland, seeing the Barenaked Ladies in concert and then partying with them at the aftershow. Hanging out with the Bella Mafia (Spooks, the Bear, Kia Ora, da Vinci and Turmet), going to entirely too many pubs - MaBell's is my favourite.
~*~Recently spent Christmas in bed after an injury and am dreading my appointment with the orthopaedist about a possible knee surgery. Rang in the New Year on the Castle Sands beach near a campfire and watching fireworks. All in all, it was an ok year, not spectacular, but not shite either - I'd give it a 6/10.
