Wrapping up 2008

Most people are in the midst of the silly season, so I thought I'd partake in a little holiday blogging.

I can say that I've definitely grown professionally and personally this year - thanks to the wonderful experiences I've had with my work colleagues, friends and family.

And to sum up the year of 2008, a little mathematics:

Average Dollars spent on coffee this year - $660
Time spent at Firehouse for drinks - over 30 hours (thanks Catherine & Roge!)
Countries visited - 4
Spanish verbs I tried to learn - 57
Spanish verbs I actually learnt - 11
Time spent in hospital waiting rooms - 84 days
I heart NY shirts purchased - 10
Ben Folds concerts attended - 1 in NYC
21st speeches given for friends - 3
People I have conned into using Twitter - 6
Movies attended - 18 (I collect the ticket stubs)
Masters Acceptance Letters - 2 (Sydney & UTS)
Blog posts I wished I had written - 50 more this year
New Years Goals/Resolutions for 2009 - 4 (one which includes to blog more!)


Next post - Something in the New Year!

wrapping up 2007

2007 was a huge year for me - not only did I complete my university degree, I traveled to America, Canada & New Zealand, got a 'real job' and turned 21.

Crazy things that I've been apart of:
- played rugby on Australia Day on this field
- got frostbite in Montreal
- Stayed here on my last night in NYC
- Got a job here and did an internship here
- Drank a beer here with good friends
- Roadtripped up the east coast
- Learnt some spanish and tried to improve my japanese
- Watched sydney's new years fireworks

I should probably include something about looking forward to this year, but that would be a tad cliched.
