Deux Mille Cinq - Counting the Coins in My Wallet

Now I normally dun blog more than once in a day. But today ... I've got two reasons. Reason no. 1: I started thinking abt the past year. Cliched I know. Still its good to recap the year if for no other reason than to count your blessings and to make sure you dun screw up the next haha. Reason no. 2: I am shit-ass bored of doing internship applications. I have become an application-machine. Input: website material, phone-calls to HR dept, looking for contacts, researching the markets and firms; Output: Cover Letter and CV for so-and-so Internship 2006. Just not too longer ago I was remarking how I'd never become a person who churned out internship applications in desperation. hoho. Circumstances do change.
Anyway ... 2005.
The year two thousand and five was ... tempremental. Life has been a lightning bolt most times, but in a few cases it slows to a horrid crawl; Friendships have been somewhat stable and lasting, in a few cases though the results have surprised me; I've really enjoyed my numerous trips to Europe, I've paid for it in some ways with sweat and blood during the exams; For one friend it was a whirlwind of varying emotions - anxiety, anguish but more predominantly and importantly love, joy, hope - sometimes changing so fast I could not hope to keep up, sometimes I'd think I'd reach the target only to find the finishing-line has moved, but for now I count my blessings, what I have now I cherish dearly.
The year two thousand and five was ... abt the future. Thinking abt the future more specifically. The person I may become, the job I might land (think internships again!!!), the family I might have, the life I might lead. And I worry. Dun take this as a lamentation though. One has to worry for action to be induced.
The year two thousand and five was ... for learning abt people. I've always been a poorer judge of character than most. Perhaps the year has thought me more abt human behaviour and action. It seems though that these lessons especially come at a price.
The year two thousand and five ... has ended well and merry. ;p And that is sometimes all that matters. Thankfully am I for these blessings.
