Last Day in December

So what have I achieved this year?

I passed my Higher exams and did very well, English notwithstanding. I won the Cup for Higher Computing and I've been helping out at the school's Computer club, educating the younglings in the way of the Force basic computer programming and animation. I entered Sixth Year at school and everything there seems to be going fine. I applied to and was accepted by several universities for the course of my choice.

Outside schoolwork, I managed to keep going with this whole once-a-day post thing, minus a few uploading problems and holidays. The important thing is that it averages out properly. I at least made a start on some of my writing projects and have plans for plenty more.


What have I failed to achieve?

I've not done nearly as much writing as I'd hoped to have done. I also had plans for working on a few game designs and prototypes but not much has happened there so far. Progress on my little sketch show comedy project has been... non-existent. The VersusCOM podcast, along with my plan for VersusCOM in general, is still on hiatus.


That's a fairly short and blunt summary but it marks out a few goals to work on come the new year. I'll try to write them down into some actual resolutions tomorrow. Maybe if I call it a list of resolutions instead of a to do list, I'll actually do some of it. Or resolve some of it. Whatever.

I got dragged out of bed fairly early this morning to go to the hospital for a dressing change. It was a real shock to my system for some reason, possibly because I'd just had a couple of days where I could actually lie in because the district nurse was coming in later than normal. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to need these daily dressing changes – everyone who examines it keeps saying how quickly it's healing up and how small it's getting but no one will give me even an approximate time until I can stop.

Anyway, the point is that the lack of sleep is starting to catch up to me now so I'll try to keep this short.

Not much success so far, unless you're only comparing it to the last two days' posts.

I expect that there'll be a lot of people staying up late and letting off fireworks and so on once midnight rolls around. That'll probably be annoying for a few minutes and then subside so that I can get some rest. I've never been one to do anything special at the end of the year. It's always been just another night, arbitrary calendar designations notwithstanding.

Wow, that's twice I've got to use notwithstanding in one post.

Thrice.

And I got to use thrice as well. Awesome.

That's enough I think. More tomorrow next year.
