2009 began in the quiet English countryside near Worcester
I spent the best part of the first 3 months working on my maxi project
And celebrated in a sunny beer garden with Flat Stanley and others when I finished
I also came off commitee in February
Enjoyed the company of international students....
Finals were in April and May, and then I became a fiancée!
And then graduated in June!
The rest of the summer was spent attending balls, trying my hand at street charity fundraising, a trip to Jersey, applying for jobs, enjoying Glasgow in sunshine, attending several weddings, enjoying little second cousins
Leadered for the 4th time at SU Music Camp in July
Endured unemployment in August though this was made more bearable by the aid of a lovely temporary flatmate
Exchanged my female flatmates for a couple of boys, acquired a job, co-organised an international welcome team, started most of my volunteer work, moved church in September. Finished esol training, played with the band by the shores of Loch Ness in October
My mum was diagnosed with gall-bladder and secondary liver cancer (though the latter diagnosis was later revoked) in January and was completely recovered, cancer all gone and all, by November!
Party, party, snow, snow, work, work, celloing, conducting, seeing family, meeting the first of another generation in December
2009 ended in the quiet Worcester countryside with a rather terrifying (for me anyway) icy climb up the hills watching many fireworks down below
A crazy year with much in the way of happenings - and so much to be thankful for!r)
