Looking through my albums of photos from this year I realized... I didn't really take many photos.
But I wanted to try my hand at one of those 'year in photos' posts that everyone is doing right now, so disregard the fact that some of the photos are really random, and that almost every one was taken by my cellphone. Long and short of it, I guess a bunch of what this post is about won't really be important.
So these aren't really the high points of my year, they're actually just random points (some of which correlate with the pictures).

December
-Managed to make a few hats during this hectic and busy month.
-Finished my Christmas shopping on time and within budget!!
-Survived my first boxing day working retail (at two shops nonetheless).
-Decided to end my year with dying my hair.
In conclusion:
This year absolutely flew by before I knew it, faster than every other year I can remember. I still clearly remember just how I spent the first day of 2011, yet I can barely remember what happened during the year because so much happened (more interesting and important than the points outlined here) and it's hard to believe it's over. I've got high hopes for this coming year, though I'm not sure exactly what they are yet. Here's to hoping for the best.
