This year has been pretty good for me. This year in no particular order has gone as follows:

- Probably (because I can't remember if I've done it or not) the first year since I was about 11 that I havn't dislocated my knees at least once
- Joined the snowboarding club...learnt to snowboard(ish) and met lots of lovely people
- i37 was a laugh and great to meet some grinners Cheesy
- Lost a job Sad but they put me in touch with someone for my new job which I started less than a week later and as such became self-employed Smiley
- Crap year on the love-life front...pfft
- Went to Prague last January which was pretty good fun after the exam period...despite being too poor for hookers Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
- Applied for a £3000 scholarship for this year of Uni over the summer...only to get there and find that one of my friends got it instead Sad
- Passed my 3rd year of Mechatronics at Sheffield but am not working hard enough on my final year project
- Essentially replaced almost every component in my computer over the course of the year
- Went to Download '09 which was an AWESOME time

That's all I can really think of for now...apart from nothing happening on the relationships front it's actually been a pretty good year all-in-all, not too much has happened though.

Hmm..

Jan - Mar was general uni stuff, nothing too fancy really.
April - Project work. Life being dominated by uni, etc. Started poking my placement company about going back to work for them. Signs pointed to "probably".
May - Finished uni, exams, football team got relegated, bleh, not much else really.
June - September - Jobless bum, news finally came back from my placement company that I could not be hired back to my old job because I only spoke English. Pricks. Decided I wanted to move back to Cambridge anyway because I was obsessing over a girl.
October - Started a temp job at the local council which was crap. Applied speculatively at a fire testing company in Cambridge.
Late October - Got said job and moved back to Cambridge.
November - Rekindled old friendship with said girl, became really good friends, moved into her spare room. Found out that she didn't feel the same about me, but wished she did Sad Realised that I have her as a very close friend, and should be happy with what I have which is a damn sight more than what I had two months ago. Still hoping though.
December - Starting to realise that this job is not as great as I was expecting. Its good, just not great. It doesn't suit a computing graduate, more like a 30-something year old with an engineering background. Decided I will stick it out for a few more months then look into getting back into games.

Highlights include:

i37: DAYUM that was good, already counting down the months to i40
Finishing Uni with a 2:1 - 65%
Getting a job and moving back to Cambridge

Lows:

Being told by my old placement company that they couldn't hire me to my old department (but maybe another one)
Peaking at 19.5 stone. Fuck off.

Another high:

Losing 3 stone since leaving Sheffield in June til now. Still losing too.
Generally just being a totally different person to who I was six months ago.

This year I have been arrested, stopped using drugs completely and started drinking on a near daily basis. The joys of university...



Probably the best year I will ever have.

my 2009 has been a mixed bag really..
Moved out of my parents house for the first time YAY.. been harder than I expected but worth it totally for the freedom and pride of it all..
Band really started to take off with gigs booked left/right/center and record labels being interested is a good sign for the future of HH!
Been the first year in a long time where I havn't been able to buy a new rig.. Had this one for a long time now! although that didnt stop me changing it a lot! (new case/mobo/other bits and bobs)
My TF2 playing has gone a bit downhill.. Raging a bit more often than normal and becoming a bit angrier outside of games because of it.. getting a handle on that now though thanks to support from Mrs Chaos Smiley
Still no job though.. I admit I'm not exactly combing the help wanted pages daily but I am looking.. you'd think I would have heard something by now? Oh well.. no use crying.. keep going and something will turn up.. always does Smiley
Had some run-ins with my past that I would rather leave in the past.. I guess everyone gets that from time to time.
ChaosPWNS started to do better and offered me more freedom to post/do stuff with a new outlook and style. Gave me a happy face when I FINALLY finished the new look.. took a good few months to do that theme and setup but was worth it in the end.. things like that always are... I found the end worth is usually directly related to the effort you put in.. if not for monetary worth, for sentimental value Smiley

Oh and WDG has once again been a shining beacon of glory in my life.. providing me with a place to doss and have a giggle.. thanks for that guys Cheesy
i37 was also a wicked good time!

Overall 2009 was an improvement over 2008 where I failed my essay and therefore failed my 1st year of uni..
