2012: Your Highs and Lows

Post by Kaito-kun »

Well it's been a busy year for the world at large: Civil wars in Syria, sports in London, some nonsense from a South Korean bloke, but none of that really matters, does it? What really matters is your life: What has 2012 brought for you guys? Share your high points and low points of the year. Feel free to go into as much or as little detail as you want.

I'll start:

High Points:

Completed my college course. (Whooo, I have a seemingly worthless Computer Technician Qualification!)
Passed my driving test and bought a car. (Nissan Micra, yo. Form an orderly queue ladies and gents~)
Went on a fantastic adventure to Japan.

Low Points:
Girlfriend of three and a half years broke up with me.

High Points:

+ Furthered my amateur DJ "career" with a set at London Anime Con in February, which the attendees seemed to enjoy. They invited me back next year, so that has to count for something!
+ Interviewing Alex Schwartz from Owlchemy Labs for RadioSEGA. Was a very fun experience, and is something I feel really proud to have done. Props to KC for setting that up!
+ Managing to get my Godot cosplay for MCM Expo accurate to a point where a completely random person actually recognised me, and wanted a photo! Shame I'll never get to see it.

Low Points:

- Plans for moving out suffered a setback, mainly due to crap financial situation. Entirely my own doing, and something I regret.
- Another year of feeling underwhelmed & under appreciated in current career. Again, something that was due to change with me moving out, so hopefully it'll change next year. Still, would've been nice.

There's probably more of both, but those are the ones that spring to mind currently.

High points:

+ Going to Iran and seeing my dad and grandparents and everybody else.
+ Getting good final grades for year 10.
+ Moving houses and getting my own room.
+ Getting a job.


Law Points:

- Having to go through another year of trouble with my family and the problems of being separated from my dad.
- Failing the Scholarship test for a school I really wanted to go to.
- Being under stress of catching up to my work after going for holidays durring school and having a stressful term in general.

The family troubles is what has really been putting my year down followed by my failure to get the scholarship I so dearly needed and wanted and pressure from school.
I'm pretty sure there were more but oh well. Let's hope 2013 is a better year then what i had.

High Points:

+ Doing a live show on RadioSEGA, really big thanks Gav for giving me a shot at putting my little project on the radio waves. :)
+ Going to New York City my god such a amazing place and SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!!!!! :D
+ Founding someone in my life that I thought I could love and call my Girlfriend.
+ Finding a new bigger apartment to rent out, so can't wait to move into it now. :D

Low Points:

- Breaking up with said Girlfriend after three months of being together, I think officially suck at being in relationships, or i'm just unlucky when finding the right girl. XD

I feel this year hasn't been too bad, there were some other things that happened that got me depressed for a good couple of months but I won't go into detail as it's pretty personal, but still looking forward to 2013. :)
