Greatest quote of the day? "You'll NEVER forget working here! This is probably the best thing that's ever happened to you. Don't deny it."
...oh, how right you were, Leilei.

And life goes on...and on and on and on.
What up! I've decided that after an undetermined period of time, that I'll give this a shot again. It's been a while, that's for sure, and I'm not totally sure if I'm sad about it yet.
Life's been interesting, to say the least, and it' sure as heck moved on. Two years of school down, one to go! I'm STOKED to graduate! Also, I thought I'd share my recent (or not so recent) accomplishments, because I'm sure that everyone outside of the blog world is tired of hearing about them by now.
First: I was hit by a car in October. I'll set the scene for you: I'm at work, and it's day 10 of 13 in a row, so I'm over eating pizza, salads and pasta for lunch and decide to visit a friend who works at a restaurant 2 blocks away, and get lunch there. I'm waiting for the light to turn green at the first intersection, then it does, I start walking, and BAM! I'm hit by a car, and lying on the ground before I realize what's even happened. I remember the sound of his engine accelerating, my gasp when he hit me, the sound of him hitting me, flying through the air (although to be fair, I thought I'd imagined this, but after reading the witness statements, I was reassured), hitting the ground, my face skidding along the concrete, etc... so everything. A lot happened in about 5 minutes, and my life changed yet again. I daresay that I'm almost used to life shit-kicking me by now, if anyone can believe that. So I just laid there as everything was happening around me. There were a few moments when I was strapped to the backboard, unable to move, when all I wanted was to jump off and yell 'Just kidding!' and go back to work. No deal. But nothing was broken (pretty much a miracle), so I'm thankful for that. Anyways, after months and months of physical therapy/testing/generally gimping around, I can pretty much walk normally again...-ish. But I'm dealing with that.
Second: <-- the place I finished in my practical exam in Second year! I lost First by a whopping 0.5%, and I'm mostly over it now. So after 2 years of freaking out about this exam that everyone had told me was brutal (to say the least), I finished with a 95%. 6 months after being hit by a car. TAKE THAT, LIFE. Now, on to Third year. Then the big leagues.
Speaking of the big leagues, here's my plan for the next year and six months (cue the song One Year, Six Months by Yellowcard): move back to Leth and in with T, kick the junk out of Third year, graduate, spend the summer either in Leth or RD*, make some cash, save lots of cash, in the fall, do a semester at the Uni, finish my first year so I'm able to transfer if I want, x-mas in RD, then flee the country for an undetermined period of time!! (Forever?)
*During the summer, I'm planning on taking a trip, and gallivanting through a few European countries, with Scotland as my main focus. Also, when I flee the country, I plan on landing in Scotland, and living happily ever after.
Speaking of happily ever after, a whole bunch of my friends got married within the past month. Like, a WHOLE BUNCH. Mic+Jer, Sel+Ger, Ste+Jan, Cas+Jon, Jen+Curt, and those that are yet to come this summer: Kim+Jon, Tif+Gre, Rob+Dane. So here's my shout-out to all you happy people: CONGRATULATIONS!! I wish I could be there on your happy days, but hopefully my well-wishes will suffice. I want to be jealous of all the happiness, but somehow, even being sad that I'm missing out on some of the happiness, I'm not jealous anymore. It'll happen when/if it happens for me. I'm good with that. For now.
And for the moment, that seems enough of an update to keep whoever may stumble across this busy for a few minutes, at the very least.
Until next time, keep fit and have fun.
Peace!
