2013.

So the world didn't end in 2012, which meant that 2013, which was never supposed to happen (excuse me while I laugh my arse off), should have been good. And it was. 

With the end of the year coming up, and the beginning of 2014 nigh, I thought I'd take this opportunity to go through everything positive that has happened this year. To be honest, this has been one of my more memorable and interesting 365 day periods, so I want to share that. Quite a few of the 'good' things aren't actually that good, but they're firsts and so that, to me, is a good thing.

1. First Job

          And my second actually - that one only lasted for a few weeks though because I prefer the first one. Which leads me onto:

2. Quit my First Job

          Which was actually the second job, I'm still in the first.

3. Fencing

          I came 2nd in my county twice. One of those times qualified me to go to the British Youth Championships, where I came 23rd or something in my category. Quite an achievement for an unsporty person. 

4. Driving

          I passed my driving test on the 8th August, and so far I haven't crashed. The worst thing that has happened so far is that someone scraped the entire left side of my car, and my friend bumped the back corner as well - neither of which I was there for, and neither of which matter anymore because I also got a new car a month or so ago. 

5. Adulthood

          In September I turned 18. So now I'm legally an adult - I can drink, move out, get married, buy fireworks and explosives, buy knives, scissors, tipp-ex. You name it, I can probably buy it now. Yay.

6. Friends

          Through work, I've made a really close friend. A recent but really good thing to happen this year. 

7. Unrequited Love

          So its not love. But this year for the first time ever a guy actually said that they liked me and 'wanted to be with me'. Unfortunately I honestly thought he was gay and so obviously didn't find him attractive, due to the fact that I am female, so politely declined. And had to do so twice more because he didn't get the idea. So that was fun. But it was a first so it goes in the List. 

There's probably other things too but they aren't popping into my head at the moment, which says to me that they're not worth the List. 

How was your 2013?

I'm guessing that as 2013 was so good, 2014 is going to be shit. Which is unfortunate for me as this is the year I am finishing my A-levels, applying to university, leaving home etc etc. I kind of need those things to go well...
