2011 in Review

[Crow]

2011 has been and gone it could possibly be classed as one of the busiest years for big news stories worldwide from natural disasters to economic disasters, riots & revolutions, and the death of many prominent figures that are loved and hated alike. 2011 certainly made an impact in the historical timeline, so what was memorably for you throughout the last year and what do you look forward to in this new year?

Memorable for me? Let's see.

Bin Laden was killed, Adele created a really great album, there was civil unrest in Egypt/many parts of the middle east.
I joined HAF, I went back to work after maternity leave, my son turned one, my husband was accepted into a Ph.D program and we moved across the country.

My Grandmother passed away, my baby sister got married, a lot of people I know got engaged, I took dance classes.

Matt smith was cute on Dr.Who, there was a provincial election, I bought a new bicycle.

Steve Jobs died, though I didn't really care much, to be honest. Christopher Hitchens died, and I felt more of an impact from that.
I was accepted into a post-graduate program, my husband has been short-listed for a significantly sized federal grant, so that's on our plate heading into 2012.

That's it in a nutshell, really!

The NZ Kiwifruit industry is ruined.

Shane Cameron, professional boxer fights in a celebrity charity event against a rugby player and takes home $100,000 which is the same amount that the charity received.
National won the election even though Labour promised to introduce euthanasia and reduce the volume difference between adverts and tv programs, and to reduce poverty by giving the poor people more money. National leader got famous by responding "Show me the money!"

2011 started off so well, even when I still can't find a job, then got worse.
The summer was crazy, but winter wasn't too bad. I began working for main MLP fans in nyc though around August, so that's my highlight.

I totally just got a cold too ;_; like less than 24 hours ago...
