Ups and downs, not sure which had the bigger impact.
Downs: Moved apartments 3 separate times for various reasons, only one of which was not a negative one. Tried and failed to start a interest group of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity. Became a PM for Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and was dropped the say before initiation. Had a really bad falling out with one of my closest friends and now am no longer on even speaking terms with her. Massive depression from a combination of factors.
Highs: Was made a Mason and just a couple of months later asked if I would serve in the highest appointed position, which plays a massive role in ritual. Got elected onto the vestry at my church and then was elected Junior Warden. Found out that next academic year there is once again going to be a Canterbury House at the U of I. Realized how good friends I had as they helped me deal with mentioned depression.
Hopefully I will have less of the bad and more of the good, but I'm looking foward to 2012.
