So, we're three fourths of the way through the year. How are your New Year's resolutions going? How's your year going?

Im from New Zealand and my New Years eve was a miserable one spent on a west coast beach in thunder and lightening with 12 drunk Christians and a depressed, obsessed ( now ex. ) friend. I must say though that my year is going good. I figured out what I want to do with my life. I got rid of some unconstructive people. I cut my hair. I told some important people how much they mean to me. One new years resolution I have not kept though is the one where I promised myself that I would attend all tutorials no matter how boring.I am a bad, bad girl!! I hope this New Years is good. Im not sure what people do for it in other parts of the workd but here we go to the beaches and lakes, get pissed and vomit in public.Ah, Godzone!?

This has been a really BAD year. My second best friend in the world, who I was also somewhat in love with, turned out to be a lying psychotic bitch, and that just kept getting uglier and uglier. I just broke up with my boyfriend last week. I'm leaving the country in a month, thank gods.

I'd say that this year has been the best one yet. In almost every way, this year has been better for me than previous ones. I'm growing up, I guess.
