Happy new years and 2013 in retrospect
12 years ago
Hey guys and Hi to all my new watchers.
2013 was kind of a hectic year for me as I'm sure it was for many others. It started off pretty alright like many years do, but it had included a bit of hurt that was still healing from the year prior. In 2012 I set off to South Korea under the guise that I was getting a rather nice paying job to teach English. That ended up not happening and either someone lied or someone lied and it ended up costing me about 10k added to the false hope of getting out of my current job.
Anyway, 2013 started off like many other years, hitting the gym more often, grumbling at the ever huge crowd at said gym and not really having a lot to look forward to for the year as I was still healing financially. It wasn't until February that a little inkling of a plan hatched into my noggen about possibly making my trip to Australia but some factors had to set it just right.
So, a few family issues came up that I'm not going into here but it allowed for me to make a slight bit of profit to add to my plan. I spent the first few months saving what I could and cutting spending all over the place to make it happen. I then finally got the ability to officially purchase my tickets to Australia and make my announcement to my then girlfriend that I was coming.
The summer was really long and pretty tedious though not as bad as some before. I'm a manager at the place I work at and being such, I've got to train alot of the newer help, which sadly theres a few new kids that when they start working, their ambitions are set way way way too high. that and theyre idiots. Anyway, got through the summer and was still saving what I could while planning to propose to my girlfriend when I got to see her.
I got an interview with a game studio which sadly didn't go through but in all honesty, I'm sure it was for the better. when I finally got to australia I moved my and
allycat's relationship forward by asking her to marry me. *look at my last two journals* So while its still a ways off before we get married, its something I'm really looking forward to as well as finally getting on my own two feet.
It was a tough year but I still have to say I was fortunate to have what I did. I'm looking forward to 2014 as I'm sure many of you are as well. Its going to be a year of a few changes but new oppurtunities. I'm pretty happy.
I hope you all had/have a wonderful new years!
