I have no resolutions

I realised today that I had less than 20 blog posts in 2011. That’s weird. But anyway, 2011 is over and it was a pretty good year for me. Like I said before, 2011 was mainly a year for me to get places, since it was the year when I finished secondary school. With the first semester of college finished it seems like a long time ago that the Leaving Cert was a huge deal to me, but that’s mainly because the second I got my results the exams themselves faded into obscurity. It’s weird being out of school, because I did quite like my school, I didn’t like the exams, but in general I could have had a worse 6 years there. I ran into my old chemistry teacher last night and talking to him for all of 2 minutes reminded me that I actually got on well with most of my teachers, had pretty good friends and although 6th year sucked due to that huge leaving cert thing, the bits when the exams weren’t on my mind were pretty good.

Starting college in September was really good, I absolutely love Maynooth, my course is pretty good and hopefully my exams that start in about a week will go well for me. I also had the bonus getting some scholarships were definitely appreciated…

Christmas was pretty awesome, as well as juggling clubs and House series 7 on DVD, which were expected, I got a new phone which is totally awesome and was a really nice surprise.

For most of the Christmas period I’ve been looking forward to new years day, not because of the start of 2012 but because it brought the return of the BBC series Sherlock. The first series ended on a cliffhanger and fans have been waiting anxiously since to find out what was gonna happen with the world’s favourite consulting detective and his nemesis. I really really enjoyed the episode, I love how the writers include plenty of references for fans of the books (I especially loved the titles of Watson’s blogposts mentioned early in the episode) but also differ enough that you (or I couldn’t at least) see their conclusions coming. Can’t wait for the next few episodes, I absolutely adore this incarnation of the stories, especially the Holmes/Watson relationship.

This would be the point of the post when I’d mention a resolution for the coming year, but I don’t normally do those, mainly cuz I can never seem to think of one… So that’s exciting…

Anyway 2012 should hopefully be a good year for me, I’m loving college and enjoying hobbies and stuff, I’m reading more than usual which is awesome and there’s no reason for the year not to be good. Also, no leaving cert, definitely a bonus!
