Happy new year! Can you believe it's already 2012? Of course, I have a a big term paper due in 5 days so perfect time to blog and recap my amazing 2011. I did finish my last exam (probably EVER), so I'm really relieved! It was only one exam, but the rest of my courses are all assessed by papers so no more academic tests for the rest of my life...unless I decide on more schooling or something. Yay!
Some stats for 2011:
-Visited 6 new American states (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Utah, New Hampshire, Maine) - 30 states into my goal of visiting all 50 states
-Traveled or resided in 4 continents (North America, Europe, Asia, Africa)
-Traveled to or resided in 14 countries/autonomous regions (USA, Mexico, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Macau, UK, Spain, France, Egypt, Switzerland).
Needless to say, 2011 has been an amazing year.
