Goodbye 2006

I am not going to miss you. Though this year has had some good points, its also had a few too many lowpoints for me to feel at all happy about. I've learnt some things though.
- I will miss my family when away for long periods of time. Even though when I get home to them I'll wish to be dead.
- My family will never be the same without my grandfather (this leads me into a small disucssion on how much I've missed him this holiday season, its been awhile since I've allowed myself to be upset over it all but the holidays seem to have dealt quite a blow to that inner strength I was claiming to have. I miss him. Christmas Eve was not the same without his rum and eggnog and lobster rolls. Christmas Dinner was nothing wihout him there, especially when it came to christmas crackers, he was the best for those, he'd proudly flaunt his hat (no matter the colour, he looked wonderful in purple) and read of the jokes with his terribly shaky hands. And he'd take forever to eat but that was okay, when we were all done and no one was waiting for anyone to finish dinner it was weird, we were so used to sitting and waiting for him to be done. Anyways, I miss him. Terribly.)
- Fleas are not to be messed with.
- Broken hearts mend, not easily but they do, especially if you get bitter and angry enough.
- One will miss their roomate very much when she leaves for the summer.
- It is possible to live in a really small apartment with two people, sharing the same room and not hate each other by the end.
- Classics might be something I really enjoy but I'm not good at them. And that's okay.
- Fredericton is a nice city. I like it. I also like Saint John. And miss it quite a bit. But I miss Fredericton too.
- Getting a roomate one doesn't know too well is a bad idea. Even if you aren't really roomates and only apartment-mates. It won't work out. Living alone appeals to one alot after a situation like that.
- Can't make up your mind about a university? Just do so badly that they refuse to take you anyways. Worked for me.
- Dating is way too over-rated. I'm accepting my call to the single-life. Perhaps even nun.
- People who promise to see you and people you promise to see when you move will not get to see you, cause school will be mean and time your exams so that people go home before you get home and come back after you go back. (I will see you eventually Joanna!)
- US hospitals are really nice, probably cause people have to pay so much bloody money to use their services. Thank goodness for travel insurance.
- My cat gets carsick and its bothersome but I love her.
- Major illness and pysical problems are not to be messed with either. But they can be dealth with and conquered. Thank goodness.
- I can only thing back a ways into the year so I'm sure I'm forgetting things from January through April last year.

But oh well. Bye 2006, hello 2007. Hope you are full of good stuff, and I can probably deal with a few disappointments and upsets, but not too many. Thanks everyone for this year, thanks for all you've done for me and for all you haven't done cause you knew I could do it myself. Hope this next year is very blessed and happy for you!
