2010

1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?
Salsa, moved to Glasgow, started a masters degree, lived with a Scottish person. What did I do for the rest of the year??

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't think I made any. This year's is to get back down to 11 stone.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
A few people at Tesco

4. Did anyone close to you die?
No

5. What countries did you visit?
Scotland

6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
Richard Armitage! Oh, a serious answer. Erm a job, mostly.

7. What dates from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

No specific dates, but I do have a few very vivid memories.

-The party for Ken and Sandy's golden wedding anniversary, because David and the new girlfriend were there. First time I've ever been so nervous I felt sick. Also because I totally rocked my little black dress with red heels :p

- My graduation, for obvious reasons

- My first thanksgiving, because I am COMPLETELY in love with sweet potato pie.

- The first time I saw Glasgow university. It actually took my breath away.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
It's a tie between passing undergrad and being accepted into one of the best unis for creative writing masters. Although I think that my merit for grade 4 piano deserves a mention

9. What was your biggest failure?
Weight gain! I'm also kind of ashamed that I couldn't be mature enough to speak to David at the anniversary do.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Aside from a surprisingly small number of colds, no. Oh, except that one time I fell over on the ice and landed on my hip that STILL hurts.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Can I say that I bought my masters? I mean, I had to pay money for it. Other than that I would say my '3 CDs for £10' offer. Simple things :p

12. Where did most of your money go?

To the University of Glasgow's finance department.

13. What did you get really excited about?
Moving to Glasgow, graduation, Christmas.

14. What song will always remind you of 2010?
Hmm I don't think there is a song that I will ever hear and go, "oh yeah, 2010..." my brain just doesn't work like that

15. Compared to this time last year, are you:


- happier or sadder? Happier
- thinner or fatter? Fatter
- richer or poorer? Most decidedly poorer

16. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Work, so I could have a bit more money now. Meeting up with my friends, exercise, writing.

17. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Shopping, so I could have a bit more money now. Worrying, obsessing over David, eating junk, sitting on my backside, gaining weight.

18. How did you spend Christmas?
At Mum and Dad's house, and also a little bit at Grandma's. Eating, mainly.

19. What was your favorite TV program?

North and South! North and South! The BBC are awesome at adaptations. It's closely followed by Merlin and Strictly Come Dancing. Yes, I'm sad.

Pride and Prejudice, always. Erm I don't think I read any books that came out in 2010.

21. What was your favorite music from this year?
Most of the Eclipse soundtrack, and Jacob's theme. Howard Shore is a genius! Also a lot of Rihanna's new songs.

22. What were your favorite films of the year?
Avatar! Also Eclipse, Sherlock Holmes and Tron. Harry Potter was pretty good too.

I was 22 and I honestly can't remember what I did. But I'm sure it was awesome...

24. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

Getting down to my target weight instead of putting some back on ¬_¬

25. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm sane? Well, that's good to know. Probably Pride and Prejudice and regular trips home to stock up my hug bank.

27. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.

Going to a party full of strangers on your own could just have wonderful results, so don't be afraid.
