Recap of 2012.
To say the year was interesting is a bit of an understatement. It all started off with a buzz after just coming back from a lovely overseas trip with my mum and two younger brothers to Auckland and the Cook Islands a quick trip up to visit my dad with my first party that I was seriously drunk and police were involved. I don’t think it had quiet sunk in how serious and stressful my year was actually going to be. 2012 was probably one of the worst years for me in terms of friendship and myself.
I changed friendship groups fairly early in the year, which wasn’t as difficult as I thought it was going to be and honestly I wish I’d done it sooner, but things happen for a reason. The year went on with the stress of school and having design two folios while trying to juggle my social life, work life and myself.
Mid-year exams came around sooner than I would have liked and I think I wasn’t prepared enough, but suffering from anxiety I couldn’t really do much more.
Being in Year 12 I had my school formal, which I think I had very high expectations on. Looking back now I wish I had bought a different dress and somehow had found sexy comfortable shoes and had tried to enjoy the night as much as possible.
My 18th birthday came and went quicker than I wanted it to. I went for a nice breakfast with Dad who had flown down to see me and my two good friends Hannah and Bianca that was just lovely.
I also got a surprise visit from my best friend of ten years from New Zealand after I had finished school, which was so so so good. The cheeky thing had planned it since June (my birthdays in august), I honestly do not know how she kept that a secret for so long! We had a lot of fun for the short amount of time that she was here. We went to a party, art exhibition, movie and shopping and then sadly she had to leave me.
I also got my dreaded braces off. Now I have lovely teeth.
A couple weeks before my finals for my folios were due in a got really ill with a chest infection and head cold which completely knocked me for dead. I think not only did this have an affect on my social life but it also affected my study timetable because final exams were just around the corner.
I thought I did really well in my final exams except for one, which I know I did badly in and I was proven right when the awful text message came at 6.58 in the morning. I did really well in both my art and visual communication but my other subjects were just average and I started panicking that I wouldn’t get into my number one course for university.
I also got to go to New Zealand to visit my best friend as a bit of a spontaneous trip. I met her wonderful group of friends, they were so lovely.

Christmas was just a quiet one with my Mum and two younger brothers and my grandparents, though I spent most of the day in bed feeling rather sick.
I have decided that this year is going to be a good year. I am going to say “yes” to things even if I feel uncomfortable and learn to push myself out of my boundaries. My next post will be my hopes and dreams for 2013.
