And Goodbye to 2009 and the 'Noughtys'
16 years ago
General
Well here's to 2009 an eventful year for me with a number of high and low points...
High points of the year:
Finishing my placement at SKF sucessfully and starting my final year at university.
Actually getting a decent day at a drift what you brung day at Santa Pod for the first time.
Meeting a few new friends, also getting close to one as of late.
Hopefully getting somewhere with personal issues and leaving old wounds to the past.
Getting int a E30 Touring 325i, before Germany next year, though not in the way i'd have wanted.
Seeing my dad make it through a major operation and looking much better thanks to the work.
Hearing my brother's now engaged this year.
My sister making it (finally) to university.
Bad Points of 2009
Writing off my long term daily, The 320i BMW i'd spent the past 4 or so years tinkering with and working on... will miss that old car :(
Looking at my final year at university, this will be the last christmas i'll have 3 weeks off.
Becoming a victim of fraud twice, once by a major garage chain who can't install a clutch properly ever and then blame the customer for their staffs failings.
Second time was only a few days ago, now a victim of card cloning.
This past decade has seen me progress from college, to an apprentiship, spend 3 or so years working in industry before returning to take my engineering degree.
It's also seen me now driving for most of it, having a few accidents. Gain a number of cars and sold them on and written my first one off. I've also been through one of the roughest points in my life through 2001 to 2006 when i was working in various jobs, also being the subject in one from 2003 to 2006 just before starting university of bullying in the workplace at the hands of a malisous manager who put himself and his company before his staff.
It's also seen me discovering my 'other' side and gain new friends all over the world as i discovered the online community.
With 2010 now approaching, there's a few things to look forward to:
Finishing my degree (hopefully with a 2:1 honors) and hopefully completing UH13 to compete at FSUK and FSG at Silverstone and Hockinhiem in Germany.
Hopefully get a job within the motorsports sector after 10 years of trying to get in.
Consider my future as there's a possible i may considering emigrating to Canada / USA since currently the UK is becoming a 2nd world coundty no thanks to 'New labour' and Brown...
And hopefully and finally move out into a place of my own...hopefully with a special someone.
