2006 – pros and cons
The idea of summarizing a year in terms of all the good things and all the bad things is not new. December is the time when one’s constantly exposed to panels of experts, commentators and politicians on TV trying to figure out what the year has been like.
I’m neither an expert nor a poltician. However, I decided to give it a try as I’ve never really had enough guts to make any New Year’s resolutions. I like to treat this barometer as an alternative to them. Exactly the same. Just going backwards.
thumbs-up
*I managed to visit USA once again. Brought back lots of memories, some mementos, and a good mood. Now I know what it feels like when you wake up in the morning and see palm trees outside the window
* I’ve become a bit better, smarter and more experienced in everyday life
* I’ve met a few people I love and whom I haven’t seen for quite a while
thumbs-down
* I once again realized that Polish weather is horrible and I can’t stand it for an extended period of time
* I once again realized that Bialystok is not necessarily the best place to live in
* I once again realized that I have too little free time
