Chapter Twentythirteen

I still can't believe how fast 2012 has passed! It felt just like yesterday when I arrived in a big city called London with my suitcases, not knowing a single person and trying to start a new life here. Jumping forward, I have now been in the UK for 11 months. So what have I achieved this year? Meeting and making new friends from all over the world, travelled to over 10 cities in Europe, worked in more than 15 schools, being in and out of a relationship and the most important was finding out who I really was. I don't think that is a bad achievement for Chapter Twentytwelve?

So what are my ambitions and goals for Twenty13? Finding a new home to move in with my two mates would be a start. That would be followed with more travel plans in Europe and making more new friends and strengthening existing ones. I had always wanted to do some volunteer work which had never eventuated. However, I will place more effort this year and find an organisation that I feel passionate working with. The last thing on my mind is to start another relationship but I guess with these things, you never know what will happen right?

I have originally thought of changing my blog title to Chapter Twentythirteen, but decided not to. Chapter Twentytwelve was when I endeavoured to make a big change in my life and so I guess is a very significant reminder to me.
For those who do read my blog, I hope you can use 2013 as a year to make a change in your life, even if it is just one thing. Hey if I can do it, then there is no excuse for you not to do the same!
