I can't remember one thing i really liked about 2009. The whole year was pretty meh, dotted with stressful days and sometimes really mundane weeks. But the year ended pretty nicely. Work finished off on a positive note, we get to keep our jobs in the meantime (always a bonus!) and i get to come home just when my homesickness was starting to get a little out-of-control.

So dear 2010, please kick some serious ass. There's still no hovercrafts in sight, but i'm sure you'll figure something out.
