Year 2014 in, Year 2013 out

So, once again, new year is  knocking  on my door.  This year, I will be home, listening to the music and reading good fics.

Short recount of Year 2013 -  hot as hell, bitchy, with wins in fics and fails at school life.  Short and sweet, no?

Okay,  what really happened:

Accredited as a proffesional masseuse, have  certificate to  show for it,  even though  it  chomped almost  all my savings to pay the lessons

Got a  CI surgery done,  still have to  go to the fitting, becasue   there's no  definite hearing yet.

Fell in love with Uta no Prince Sama  (anime) and  it's songs. (The cast was a bonus.  Bonus, I say!)

Discovered  amazing song This Love by Shinhwa and Korean unique humor.  (Seriously, Shinhwa, you are  the best.  Keep being so very entertaining.)

Accredited as a Logistics Engineer, even if I am now  wondering if I was even sane when I had switched the courses.  Seriously, what kind of drug I was on?  (The presentation wasn't the best, though the  amount of written work was honestly massive,  both in writing, editing and so on. Next time, I swear I will write only half as thick of  the first thesis. And yes, this still means some 40  pages. (Actually, 70, but ssshh, nobody has to know.))

Rejected my first job interview on the  basis of not having a haul to the  place they invited me to.  (Regretting it now,  and not regretting it)

Massive work outside -  field, garden and orchard (pack-mule capacity too,)

Worked outside in December in short sleeves and didn't get a cold (but man, I sweated  as if there was  summer! And it was  under  zero!)

Began with the workout -  I swear the trainer is  a sadistic ass, and I am  fooled again and again into doing  push-ups (love-hate relationship with them)

Wrote  some good pieces of  fanfiction, was seen as a total douche bag for  biting  some deserving people to death (metaphorically said),  and got to know some awesome people

Participated in biting to death the  SOPA thing. (I have some  life  indulgences and I am jealously  protecting them)

Posted some of my poems on internet

Suggested a new  law in parliament and was politely rebuffed.

Began to learn French of all  languages (correction,  Mum did, I am  here  as a  auxiliary helper and occasional  homework-writer. Merci, mere. )

Overall  taught Mum  the basics of  working with computer (father too,   along with installing  the needed  programs, and   combating that horrifying  Babylon toolbar -  wised up on this one)

Was up until wee morning  hours almost 365 nights -  okay,  with exception of some 30 or 40.  Certified night owl, and still  grumpy bear when mum bitches at me for my late mornings. only two notable  exceptions when I was  too hyper and consequently  risen at the ungodly hour of  3 at morning.   Dammit, my circadian cycles are  messed up!

Found out our dog  had a  mouth cancer and was delegated as a main cleaner of his mouth. (Eww, yuck)

Did some bloody work - slicing cow livers,  hearts and so on for our darling doggy, along with plucking  feathers from some oversexed chicken (details won't be  discussed). Oh, the joys of living in the country

Hm. Looking at the  list, I  was  relatively good this year, even if I thought I was jobless bum at the time. /head meets desk/

Oh-kay,  I would've  written the list of recommendations and life lessons, but I don't really want to, and I really crave   a smoothie.

So,  for the next  year, theme song:

BACK TO LIFE!

If I ever said "Go Home!"
Everybody here would say "Hell, No!"
All we gotta do is just let go...
We can make it through the night -

'Cause if the party is dead!
All we need is candle light!
And a little bit of dynamite!
Everybody will get out of our way!

(3OH!3, Back to Life)
