At this time of year it’s interesting to think about a year ago. There are some people who it would have been easy to lose contact/friendship with but that hasn’t happened. I’ve also picked up some new friends along the way, most notably Tom, Gav and Emily, but also my sister.
On a more individual basis, I have also proved myself. My AS Levels were better than expected, I’ve recieved an offer for a place from Balliol, and my biggest project (although by no means a solo one) the panto, was fantastic.
Friendships have strengthened, new relationships have formed, I have achieved in various respects. 2007 has been a good year.
Onwards to 2008.
