A look back.....

2011. Lots to say about you but most of it is not good. This year has been one of the weirdest, longest and most trying years of my (albeit short) life. The first couple of months are all kind if a blur and mostly unremarkable and filled with nothing but drama. Its funny to think but most of what has happened to me this year was after the creation of this blog still to fully go over this past year I have to kinda recap this entire blog which at this point is kind of a ghost town on the blog world. So here goes nothing.

This year started with me in what I would come to discover is one of the most unhealthy relationships that hopefully me or anyone close to me is ever in. It also was the first time I introduced my parents to someone I was dating and surprisingly it was not as embarrassing as my parents have threatened my entire life (I'm still not totally convinced they have baby photos but I don't want to poke the tiger).

Then probably can only be described as the most uneventful semester of my college career. But that is not to say it was a bad semester just not much happened. But I'm also very proud of my brother who graduated after said semester and now has a full time job. My entire family including one of my cousins come out to LA to celebrate his graduation and go to disneyland. Oh yeah and they all had to help me move into my house but I think the big draw was graduation and disneyland. But I was very lucky to have them all help me and now I live with my best friend. The end of the semester also brought the end of my year and a half relationship and probably one of the worst summers of my (again albeit short) life. IN fact if thats the worse summer ever for me I'm going to be pretty happy.

I also started volunteering at the animal shelter which helped with some of the cat withdrawal and filling up any would be free moment. But of course all my free time then got taken up by the reason for this blog, KITTENS. I don't think I realized at the time but it came at the perfect time for me. I was literally trying everyday to make sure every minute of everyday was taken up so I did not have to worry about my problems. The three kittens came and took up that time as well as giving me things to put my mind on. It was not the easiest thing ever to catch all three and transport them all the way form CA to NM but I could not be happier that is how my summer went. Even now as I'm home again I am amazed how much they have grown and how Oreo is brave enough to be seen (not so much Ty or Moony but hey 1/3 is pretty good right?) and I am amazed that I was able to catch all three and now they live comfortably.

Then once again another uneventful semester. But this time it was different. As I have said before it there was less drama and just more friends who wanted to hang out and do shit. I will give short shout out to my parents who got my a new computer halfway through the semester when my old one broke and I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for me this year and my entire life. Oh and right before my finals I should mention that I hit a home run in a softball game! But of course this led to me spraining my foot. Why do I even play sports anymore? Anyways now I have to walk in pain for eight plus months. I should just retire now.

One last little subject I feel every person from Boston has on their mind. Sports. The Bruins, Patriots, Celtics and Red Soxs. I have never gone through one of these epic collapses that my father and grandfather had to go through until this year. Have to say it was a Mona Lisa of collapses. Celtics are just plain old. The Patriots are fun to watch for half the game (aka whenever the defense is off the field). But I have to say that this year for the first time since I have truly enjoyed watching a team and following them because they actually seem to love what they are doing and are dominating, The Bruins. I was surprised but I actually think that the Bruins have won my favorite team of Boston.

One last shout out to my Cousin who won for international board of his youth group. Proud of you cousin and I hope you have an amazing year doing that.
