December was a rather quiet month here and I could give you a list of excuses, but how about we don’t start the new year off with that and instead learn from it, so first:
- I haven’t posted as often as I would have liked to have. What ever the reasons, the fact is that priorities lied elsewhere. But that’s rather easy for me to change in 2012, well, if I feel that it’s a priority at that moment haha – I’m not making any resolutions!
- Groningen is a magical kingdom of princesses, princes, some toads, fairies, witches, poodles, all around awesome people and a few ompa lumpas (perfect for Queen’s Day, eh?). I will treasure the memories we made forever.
- If a hostel gives you directions on how to find them, follow them religiously. Do NOT go to Google Maps and try to leg it, especially in Venice.
- If you get locked into you hostel room within a week from getting locked into a toilet in another hostel and still manage to find the funny in it, it just might become an awesome day! After you’re let out of the room that is.
- The significance of going to the army for some guys’ maturity level should not be underestimated. Learned this from living with a 23-year-old child.
- A year without proper snow is too long and unacceptable.
- How not to pack quite as much. I’m still not great at it, but I’ve definitely gotten better. Carrying everything on your back for a month will do that to a person.
And not:
- How to filter the things I say.
- How not to leave things to the last minute. My skills at procrastination are developing a bit more than they should.
- How to get to the point. I can ramble on so long that I forget what I wanted to say in the first place
- How to not stress over the little things.
- How to not pick on my skin, especially while stressed. Realized this just now while picking on my face.
