i guess it was inevitable that i would start writing this post. it happens every year and i was wondering when i would get around to thinking about this last year. a lot has happened in this year, as with any year, and i should do this year justice by reflecting on some of the larger milestones of the year.

i remember last year around this time i was feeling pretty down. things just didn’t look like they were looking up and i hid myself away from all of the troubles of the world by working excessively crazy hours.

if i had to describe the one big change in my life this year, i would probably say my involvement in volleyball was the biggest change in my life. i have gone from playing one day a week casually to three days a week plus tournaments. it’s a big change from my sedentary lifestyle that i used to have. i think that i had a lot more free time back then though…i do miss the free time. i think that the only way i can recapture the lost time is by staying up later, unfortunately.

this year also marked the purchase of 2 cameras. my beloved canon 10D and the more recently acquired canon s400. two cameras in one year. wow. that’s a lot.

professionally, i think that i’ve settled in to my job and things on that front are moving along pretty decently. i’m involved in interesting projects, so i guess one can’t complain there.

all in all, i think it’s been a pretty good year and i’m looking forward to the next.
