The End Of The Year Blog Post

Normally I would be writing my December post for this but seeing as it’s New Years Eve I might as well do my summary post instead.

2009 will not go down as one of my particular favourite years. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. And I think it started with the final written exam. Changing a course in your final year isn’t really advisable seeing as it probably means that you are missing out of things that you should have done in your final year that that now appear early in the new version of the course…have I lost you yet? Add to that the unability to sit my first attempt of my acute oral due to paperwork errors and then having to re-sit the written paper another twice, fighting for a resit next month…Sometimes I wonder why I don’t say f*** it…

My car has seen more damage this year than it ever has. A small bump in February meant me not being able to basically use the car for almost 2 months between it going back and forwards to the repairers. In the end I moved insurance companies and now never see my car cause my brother is now on the insurance. And he has a bill for 158 GBP sitting in the garage for it already…

It’s not all been doom and gloom though. I’ve seen a whole host of artists live and being to some fantastic events that includes:

• Saw Errol Brown on his farewell tour
• Saw Sandi Thom on her Homecoming Tour / Supporting the New Beautiful South
• Lionel Richie on tour
• Cirque Du Soleil’s Quidam
• Finally saw Nerina Pallot in concert
• Saw The New Beautiful South and shocked myself by how many songs I actually knew
• Saw Lulu, Chaka Khan and Anastacia all in the one night in Here Come The Girls
• Got up close and personal with some of the outfits and creatures from the new series of Doctor Who

So what’s planned for 2010? Well so far…

• Will see the touring version of We Will Rock You next week in Edinburgh
• Planning on seeing Avatar in Imax 3d :D
• Seeing Sandi Thom / Alex Cornish at Celtic Connections
• Seeing Amy Macdonald at the infamous Barrowlands as she showcases her forth coming album
• Seeing the Cirque Du Soleil show Saltimbanco in June when it arrives in Glasgow

Of course, I hope that 2010 is the year I can say I will qualify as a nurse but that remains to be seen.

So from this blog, I guess the final thing to say is thank you for reading and to wish you all the best for 2010. And hopefully you’ll pop back to see what other shinanigans I’ve been up to or moaning about :)
