FIRST OF ALL

Merry Berry Christmas! 

2014 has been the most eventful year thus far and we're 6 days away from the new year. I barely written a handful of posts so let's try to cap this one in before the clock ticks to 2015, shall we? So here's a short listed summary of 2014:

10. December

April and June aren't listed, as you could probably notice (unless you learn from somewhere that there are only 10 months in a year); it is both filled with small gatherings and meet ups, and intern life specifically for the month of June. Nothing to spectacular that needs to be listed down.

I'm hoping to gain a similar, active schedule in the coming year. It's been such a great year as a whole and I would not trade it for anything. I remember moping about how I did not attend a gig this year and that it was going to ruin my 4 year streak lol. I guess not! A great year to me, now that I've experienced it, is one shared with friends and family. This 2015, I aim to be more productive in my side-project aka my passion in art. I aim to be happier; to see things at a lighter angle. I hope to be more patient in my own personal development and progress. To be more open to new things. To be brave and lead the path into 2015 with a headstrong attitude. 

I will also be graduating next year. My last semester commences on Feb/March and I'll be done around May/June. I'm looking for a slot to start my travel / getaway / vacation before I start my 9-5. There are different options that I'm looking at right now in terms of where to travel and job opportunities, but I'm threading on (dangerous) water. Will I be granted my holiday or will I succumb to rotting at home, wasting the hours away because of the serious headlines going on and on about drug smugglers at the airports? Or am I good enough to apply for a job towards a career in the Arts industry, or am I stuck at a corporate wasteland? 

There's so many things I'll be juggling in 2015 and I'm already starting to get the jitters. Fingers crossed that I'll make it out alive, figuratively. Goodbye, twenty fourteen!
