First post of 2013, reflections upon the past year

Well 2013 has arrived, and with passage of time comes changes.  One being the new layout of the Blog which feels a little odd to use.  I just kinda wanted to give a random thoughts of the past 2012 along with some thoughts for the upcoming year. 

What happened mainly in 2012 for me? In no particular order a few things that I recall from 2012.  Well a few things, I got through another year of pharmacy school and now I'm in my final year on rotations.  Tried asking a girl out by telling her my feelings for her, and got turned down but its OK.  At the very least I gave it a try instead of letting it just fade away into feelings of what-ifs.  Mainly been on rotations since May.  Went on road trip up to Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.  Got to see my family and friends when I came back home for holidays, which is always good because being around my family and good friends reminds me that even though I'm away from home about 420 miles I'm still blessed to have awesome friends and family back at home. 

A random tangent, upon reflection of the past year and my time with my family during the holidays. I am reminded of how blessed I am because I have a caring family and friends who got my back.  Almost everytime before I leave my mom always loads my car up with foods and snacks so she can make sure I'm eating well and she doesn't want me to lose any more weight.  Despite my horrid eating habits the past year I'm amazed that I haven't gained too much weight since I was home I weighed myself and I weighed 130.  I do know that at one point in my rotations there was a scale and I weighed myself and I weighed 135, but I guess it might've been muscle since I was doing pushups and crunches every night.  Anyways my mom always gives me a bunch of snacks and food to take back.  My mom also gave me a bunch of gift cards she got from work, or various gift exchanges.  Such caring really touches me since being on my own I think I have gotten more cynical due to working at retail pharmacy and seeing how people always seem to look out for themselves. 

A few things I hope that 2013 has for me is I hope to get a residency since I finished my applications.  If not residency I hope to find a career for me where I can work close to home and see my family and friends more.  I also hope to pick up a couple more hobbies since it will help with my next one.  This last one I don't expect to find in 2013 but I hope sometime in the future to find a girl that I'll find myself spending the rest of my life with.
