2007: the big review

Well I say big, it's merely a set of questions and answers. It'd be cool if you could do the questions too because I'd love to see what everyone's year was like. Here are the categories, which you are free to choose from (and add to!):

High point of 2007
Low point of 2007
Person of 2007
Best film you saw this year
Best book you read
Best album
Funniest moment
Best sporting moment
What you are looking forward to most in 2008
Thing you will miss least about 2007
(where applicable) "God moment" of 2007

So without further ado:


High point of 2007
It has to be passing my first year assessment. Judging by the number of panic attacks and moments of self-doubt I had, it was going to be tough. And it was, but I got through it by prayer, getting moral support and pulling my socks up. Thanks to all who helped me with this! (Honourable mention goes to being asked to do PA at Lorraine's wedding. A small task, but I felt honoured nonetheless)
Low point of 2007
2007 hasn't actually been a vintage year in terms of happy moments. I was plagued by self-doubt for a lot of it, and explosive moments in the flat didn't help. Nor did failing my driving test twice and being "ill" for a lot of the summer. So take your pick from that lot.
Person of 2007
The person has already been notified. I hate to be so secretive, but I know that they wouldn't want me spreading it over the net, so I'll just say thanks!
Best film you saw this year
Probably the Bourne Ultimatum. Worst film I saw was Perfect Stranger. Avoid if you please.
Best book you read
The only book I read that wasn't a re-read was Mark Twain's "The adventures of Tom Sawyer", which, luckily, is pretty good. Even if I didn't understand a lot of the southern dialect.
Best album
"Minutes to Midnight" by Linkin Park is my most played. Don't judge me...
Best sporting moment
David Healy's winner vs Denmark in Euro 2008
What you are looking forward to most in 2008
Euro 2008, although it might be rubbish due to lack of home interest, spending time with folk before they graduate, maybe a conference, if I am lucky, less tutorials, Calcutta Cup, passing my driving test, 20's and 30's
Thing you will miss least about 2007
The general malaise that surrounded me this year should hopefully be gone in time for the summer. We'll see about that, as the GMan once said..
(where applicable) "God moment" of 2007
There was no real moment but God shed a lot of light on relationships, mostly of the boy-girl variety, but other sorts also. Some things in this regard have made me frightfully sad this year, but I have been able to understand some of the things that have gone on (though not all of them, much as I would like to) thanks to this teaching. I'm hardly an expert now, mind...

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this brief snapshot of my year, and I look forward to reading yours. Let me know if you've written one!

Merry Christmas and have an amazing 2008!
