New year...bit late

Ha. Time for putting thoughts down...2012 eh?

• Graduate! Oh yes, finally the four years are up. On the 29th June this year I will (hopefully!) be a Master of Chemistry, barring a massive cock-up. Got to put the nose firmly to the grindstone to ensure its that first class honours degree I've been fannying around for the last three years! This will make me happier than can possibly be explained.
• After that? Shit man, no idea. Possibly a PhD, hopefully I can get myself a year working somewhere though. All depends on The List when it finally comes out...if not, would quite like to spend the summer at DSTL, really not ready to start my working life yet. This part of the Plan probably could do with some work...
• Travels! Got the bug now. Have finally booked up Costa Rica, been looking forward to this one for a long time. Hopefully the rain won't be too bad. After that I will be hitting up Guatemala, Belize and Mexico with father dearest. Either a fantastic or a terrible idea, only time will tell!
• Family...bloody hell. Ain't the brightest section in the world. After the £3 shit CD for christmas, I cannot be bothered with my sister any more. She couldn't even spend Christmas with us. Buggered off on Christmas Eve and came back on new years day so that she could get a lift back to London. Takes the piss. Can't be doing with people like that. Shame really. Not looking like either of them will be at my graduation either, good to know that family ranks up high for them...
• Carry on with the chilling! I'm liking the laid back way my psyche is going, its pretty useful in stressful situations! Don't know if I will be saying that come May/June...
• Keep on keeping on, last year had many low points. This year is starting off slightly better, but there are things on the horizon that I don't particularly want to come across. Hopefully a few unexpected good things will pop up too.

In conclusion, it will no longer get me down when people let me down - they do it regularly so why bother? Time to go it alone, cut the ties and do the things that make me happy. And get a first...
