For the past few years, the start of a calendar year didnt mean much to me, as it wasn't in tandem with the academic year in university.
Hence, it doesn't feel like a new year to me at all.
However, things became different ever since I started working.
The start of 2010 marked the beginning of a full year of working life to be. I was full of hopes for everything. Who wouldn't be? New job, new career, new friends, new environment, starting all over again brings lots of hopes and anticipation with it. Just like being back in uni year 1 again.
Now, it's time for the start of 2011. Some hopes are dashed. Some others are still being anticipated, although not so much anymore. And sometimes it kinda seems like it's time to start looking forward to the next stage. Just like how it felt being in uni year 2.
Although I have no idea what's the next stage gonna be anymore.
Anyway, 2010 started off great and it was filled with loads of ups and downs. Eventually, it ended on a low note. Very low - being very disappointed with some events and some people and the fact that the peak is approaching doesn't help at all.
But anyways, it's a whole new year now! Let's just remain hopeful once again (after all, hope is what moves us forward sometimes, ain't it?) and I really hope it'll be a very wonderful year ahead!! =)
HAPPY 2011!
(and dear peak, i'm determined to survive you better and make myself happier this year!!)
