I don’t know if it’s possible to call this a tradition but every year I usually have my year-end realizations. Like what I’ve stated in one of my previous post (the one that features my New Years Resolution), I rarely have resolutions because I prefer having realizations. Believe it or not, I got the idea of having year-end realizations from an anime - it’s Boy’s Be. I think it’s the second to the last episode. :heart:

Last year, I posted my realizations on Christmas Day. I really do not what happened that time but my last post for the year 2k6 is on Christmas day. The post is entitled Thank you’s and Reminiscence and my post for this year is entitled ‘happy new year to you!‘ because I cannot think of a more appropriate title.

So, to my realizations. The first semester of this year is probably the most mind-boggling one. Who would have thought that choosing a university is so hard? Oh yes it is so hard! Especially if you take your friends into account. There are times that you would choose something that is out of plan. That’s what happened to me - I ended up in the university that doesn’t even crossed my mind but I guess I’m glad that I ended up there. More than that, my friends are studying there so it’s just like high school. But of course, there is a part of me that is questioning the decision I’ve made. Though my conscience keeps on asking me a lot of “whys” and “hows”, I’m settled already and nothing can ever change that.

I’m happy with my decision though it’s hard to cope at first. You see, I’ve pursued and fought for where I am now just to be with my friends but none of them were my blockmates! But I guess that’s life and come to think of it, if those things didn’t happen, I will never meet the wonderful people that I call my “college friends” now.

Sorry if this is way too long. I have a lot of realizations this year - college taught me a lot.

During the second semester of this year, my family is faced with so many problems. Since it’s about my family, I won’t spill the details here. I am just glad that were able to push through. I admit that during those times, my optimism is gradually drifting away but God is so kind, He never let me down in those times. Also, He even gave me a lot of things that I never asked for. With all honesty, I’m trying my best not to cry while writing this part… yes, I’m teary-eyed right now! :eek:

I’m going to end it here though there are still a lot of things that happened to me. But those 2 are the most-highlighted ones. And now, I’m off to return your comments. :heart:
