It's a Boy

Well, 2011 has passed and despite how bad it was, I wish for it to rest in peace. We also have a newborn joining our never-growing family. We've named him "2012".

It's at this time that I look back on my last two years at uni, and I find them somewhat comparable to movie trilogies. Particularly a certain one written and directed by one Mr. Lucas. It starts of well enough - the first off the saga introduces the the good and the bad, the student and the trials of university life. There are struggles and battles, and a planet gets blown up at one point, but in the end, good prevails and everyone's happy. Number two is a little different. Evil counters, there are a lot of harder battles, hiding, revelations, and at the end of the day, you manage to survive, but it's quite bittersweet.

Number three?

For me, it has yet to begin, but as the aformentioned trilogy goes, good finds a way to come back from a rough ending in the second, learns a lesson or two, takes on insurmountable odds, makes some hard decisions, and ends up blkowing up another Death Star.

...wait...I think I've mixed things a bit...

Anyway, if my tenure at QUT really does follow this pattern, there might just be hope for me, yet. The challenges may be great, the battles will be rough, some might be won, some might be lost, but in the end, hopefully I can push through and achieve ultimate victory - that being a degree.

2011 was not the terrific year I hoped it would be - it did not follow the trend set by 2010 - but perhaps 2012 will be a good year.

...first it needs a bottle and a nappy change :)
