Well. Bit late, I know, but I thought it was important to reflect on 2013... though it was perhaps the most 'tranquil' of years that I've had recently, in that there were no big changes, it was still a very important year, and one that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
In 2013 I lived in five different places with four different sets of people in two different countries (or three if, like me, you consider Mallorca and Spain different too), passed numerous exams, finished my second year, went to my first music festival, went to another one, saw eleven bands (including my favourite, twice), went to a calçotada, made a lot of new friends, became closer friends with people I met previously, experienced my first Sant Jordi (and my birthday on the same day), got four roses, went to two surprise parties, saw David Crystal speak, went to a graduation that wasn't mine, lost a friend, got rained on by 25,000 tonnes of confetti, made a new family out of my uni housemates, dressed up as a Catalan recycling advert, was a subject of a class language investigation using a language I'd been learning less than a year, spent all night in the library, lived with a family that wasn't mine, spent a lot of time on the beach, went to a water party, started my dissertation, got pickpocketed, made a police report in a foreign language, went on a tapas crawl, visited twelve new towns, got mistaken for many different nationalities besides English, became an au pair for the first time, got paid for teaching English again, used four languages in one day, taught English to over ten people, went on a lot of nights out, tried a lot of new foods, became an English teacher over Skype, had my first fluent-ish conversation in a foreign language, got 97% in a Catalan exam and did a Christmas concert with Octava.
All in all, a rather awesome year! May 2014 be even better - and for you guys too, of course! Happy New Year!
