RECAP 2009
Monday, 30. November 2009, 11:22:06
Another Year gone by!!! Time does surely rush these days. When I was a Kid, Years used to take forever to get finished. But now, a year is like a few months. I think it’s because I am really busy all year round but I will get used to it.
Actually, this year has gone by so fast that I don’t remember most of the things I did. All I remember is that at the beginning of this year, I started a new semester (2nd Semester, Year 1), it went by very fast, did exams and had a long vacation. Then 3 months later, I started another semester (Semester 1, Year 2) and now it’s also over. That’s basically what I remember but if I think harder, I can do a simple recap on this year’s events.
At the start of this year (Jan 29th), the main section of this Blog, turned 2 years. 2 years is a short time but it feels like a long time for this Blog and lots of updates have been posted ever since.
In about 1.5 months (Jan 29th 2010), my Oldest Blog will turn 3 years. I am very certain that this blog is here to stay and it’s going be here for lots of years to come. On the 3rd Anniversary, I am going to do a Recap of the 3 years since the Blog started in 2007. its going to be timeline of events and changes that have happened. You surely can’t miss this. It’s going to be up 2 months from now (Jan 29th 2010).
Also this year, I read a few books since I’ve been quite busy all year round. I read only 3 books (“Angels and Demons”, “Da Vinci Code” and “The Lost Symbol”). I hope to read more books in 2010.
Probably the biggest achievement this year is setting up my New Homepage. It wasn’t that hard to create. All I needed was an idea of what I wanted and the right hosting and knowledge (only HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript was needed).
A few weeks back, I made some changes to it and more changes will come regularly. All this is aimed at making it a better homepage because it’s my Home on the Web. It has to give a good impression when someone visits. Check it out at http://mabsj2.host22.com.
In future, i will give it it’s own domain (joashmabs.com) and more cool stuff will be added.
Another achievement is that my GPA rose this year because I performed well in last semester’s exams. Not that I expected it to drop, but the increase was so good that I am now at a better position this semester.
I am expecting another increase this Semester since I am doing less Courses. I have had more time to study each of the Courses in detail.
This year I participated in two marathons. Not so big but it’s unique because I always participate in one run a year.
During the year, I applied for Field Attachment at 3 organizations. I am expecting to be contacted at the beginning of next year (2010).
The 40th Anniversary of Moon Landings which happened in 1969 were yet another highlight this year. It was memorable and lots of events took place to remember the historic event. Mars is our next destination.
Also this year, I was named one of the best 100 science twitterers, which is certainly true if you visited my Twitter page. if you like my Tweets, you can follow me and I will surely follow you back.
As you already know, this year I completed my first year at College (Recap Year 1), and started the Second Year (just finished the 1st Semester of Year 2). The First Year was unique and had its challenges. Year 2 is here and I am certain it’s going to go well.
The sad moment this year was the breakdown of my PC. The monitor blew up so I can’t use it now. I haven’t gotten time to repair it but I am hoping it will repaired in 2010.
2009 has been a unique year in lots of aspects and it surely will always be one of those years i will never forget. During the year i have learned a lot about my self and also about my environment. 2010 is going to be another great year i hope and looking forward to experiencing more stuff.
