As there's only about 29 hours left of 2011 i though it would be fun to make my last blog post of 2011 about the year itself. Now of course ive had my hard days this year, some of which have been harder than others but overall 2011 has been a good year for me so i thought it would be fun to countdown my top 10 moments. Now this is difficult to do as some of them cover the space of a few days and others are just moments that made me jump up and down. With all that considered please enjoy my top 10 moments of 2011.
10. Getting a 2:1 in my first university essay: This sounds weird as it doesn't really mean alot overall but in all honesty i believed i had failed, i have no confidence when it comes to academic work. So when i looked and saw i had done pretty well in this essay i had worked hard on it was a great feeling.
9. Winning a media Oscar: Again very weird and quite lame and also about school work. Basically my media teacher though it would be fun to host an Oscar based award evening for all the video's we had made all year for our coursework. The hall was packed with parents, teachers and students. My horror trailer won best lighting and was nominated for best overall production so i was very chuffed with that :)
8. Harry Potter ending: I love harry potter so much, its my favourite film series so to watch it be complete was amazing, the final film was my favourite of them all and yeah i loved it !
7. Rock challenge: Me dancing, HA. Still it was absolutely amazing, some of my best friends from home i only met this year through this event where school dance against each other. I loved the rehursals and the people and the show we put on, people kept saying how entertained they were watching, only slightly dampened by not winning but that's my competitiveness coming out. If the show was in 2011 it would have made it in but it ended December 2010.
6. Leaving Tesco: Although my last shift was nice as my bosses said they would miss me, i fucking hated that job. I used to dread the weekend as i worked Friday nights and it crushed my soul being there. So to leave was amazing.
5. Getting my ring: If you know me well you know how much i love my granddad, if you look on my hand i'll be wearing a gold ring with a black stone. My Granddad has worn this ring since he was 'a young man' as he put it. Well this year he gave it too me for a gift and it's my most cherished thing i own.
4. 18th: got a tatttoo, gifts, friends, pub, family i finally turned 18 so will never worry about getting alcohol or cigerrettes again. I love being 18 and my 18th birthday was a top day.
3. Reading Festival: was torn between this being second or third, Reading festival was 5 days in a tent in the rain with 3 of my very good friends. Was fucking amazing i got to see my favourite band ( ofwgkta ) and yeah was so good definitely going next year.
2. Amsterdam: AHHHH best week ever, 10 lads in a beaut flat in the centre of Amsterdam, don't wanna sound lame but so many drugs and was AMAZING. Didn't wasn't to come home was so good. Actually now i write this this defiantly deserves to be above reading.
1: Getting into University: Didn't ever think id go to uni, didn't think i'd get in right until i saw it on my laptop. It poured with rain results day which lead to me being in a car crash. The mood was set i needed 280 to get in and i got 260, i went down from an A to a B in media so i was heartbroken. I did what im sure everyone was doing that day and constantly trying to get onto UCAS due to it's over capacity. Then i saw it written across the screen saying i had been accepted into Winchester, i jumped on my settee and screamed 'YES' my parents where sat in the living room with my sister and we all cheered, and celebrated.
So yeah 2011 has been very good some things didn't quite make it in such as discovering Tumblr which i love, finishing school and reuniting with a former childhood friend. Here's hoping that 2012 is just as good as 2011 with equal if not more memories.
