crankyoldman | oh this time of year

+ Going to be gone for a week starting tomorrow. Well, unless I randomly discover internet access at the relatives' places. But most of them have DIAL-UP. Dear family: become one with the 21st century.

+ Finished up my holiday gift EPs!

+ Last day of work with people that will actually be here (as I'm coming in on New Year's to make sure my legacy is left on the server properly) :<

+ Christmas Party & Staff Meeting today, though, which is awesome. I love our staff meetings!

+ Trying not to freak out over all the packing/moving/insanity with gifts and stuff.

+ Downloading all that I might want to mess with while on vacation, as I need something to do besides read some days. Though reading will be something that will happen muchly.

+ I have the feeling I'm forgetting something... this is going to bug me for a while.

Since I have no idea how my internet is going to be, and part of me thinks it's silly to do this after Jan. 1st, I'll do this now. I don't think I've ever really done a serious "year in review" type of post (or if I did, I sure as hell don't remember). But a shit ton happened this year and I'd kind of like to get it out. XD

January - Still messed up in the head, drinking a bit much, generally unpleasant. Needed to get over myself. Roommates were awesome, though, and I was eating regularly.

February - Only thing I remember is that we had two snow days, which meant I didn't have to take a thermo exam. Which was good and bad. Anything else in this month eluded me.

March - It was windy.

April - Ennui turned into not doing my homework which turned into BAD. Will be sure to concentrate better in April from now on. I think

ff_exchange was finishing up around then, which was nice.

May - Got kicked out of school. Best/worst birthday evar. At the end of the month got a cool job! Bipolar month.

June - Learned more about space education than I ever thought possible. Decided to start reading shit about organization during work breaks less casually than I used to. Became enamored with uncluttering.

July - More intense research, got into other university. Heh.

August - Started notebook for thoughts in head while working, which somehow helped me more than anything else I was trying to do to improve myself. Enjoyed work. Lots. Started math class, discovered that math teachers can be hippies.

September - Realized I could time manage if I threatened myself enough. Meetings and awesome.

October - Month of awesome. New computer, more energy, manageable homework.

November - Slight backtrack, as it was cold and dark and I do not like cold and dark. Got a little behind.

December - And picked a lot of it back up. XD Might kill my extended family. We'll see.

Hmm. Weird year.
