In review: This year was a challenging (better than using the word shitty) year. To reflect back, it wasn't shitty as I keep thinking it was; it was more of a rocky year where I found myself depressed and stuck, but at the same time, it was a year of transition and new things, as I got my lab job, moved to an off-campus apartment, got a roommate, as well as depression (considered a new thing, no?). I would like to hope that this year made me a stronger person, and to have enough courage to pull myself out of this "rut" and make 2012 a better year.
