What I Learned This Year

This year has been amazing, with ups and downs (but mostly ups) makes 2010 my best year ever.  To wrap up this year I wish to list all the things I’ve done and learned.

1. I learned that if you want something, just ask.
2. As a result I got the opportunity to work as a research assistant over the summer.
3. I also learned that getting into grad school will be hard, because my grades suck.
4. I just don’t put that much effort into classes that I don’t deem relevant to my goals.
5. I learned how to read a map! Believe it or not but it’s not that easy.
6. I learned how to work with different people and different personalities.
7. I solidified my past thinking that I deal with disappointments and failures very well.  I just keep moving on, because you can’t change what happened.
8. I learned that I like to shop….not a good thing actually
9. I learned that I like to take pictures of myself….is a good thing…for some people.
10. I had somewhat of a social life this year and I enjoyed it.

14. I forgot another important birthday.
15. I learned to always take an opportunity when it’s presented to me.

23. I learned that no matter how isolated I act, my parents will still spoil me with their love and niceness.
24. I realized, I do indeed have a pretty nice life and everything bad that happens to me is because I do stupid things ^_^ which is ten times better than having other people do bad things to you.
25. Hence, I have a lot of control on what goes wrong in my life lol
26. I learned I’m extremely more clumsy than I thought I was.
