Hey everyone, I am going to be doing a best and worst list of 2011 -- it will include products, foods, moments and anything else I can think of.

• All Bran
• Goji berries

Worst Food of 2011

• getting a hair in my dessert at 93 Harbord during winterlicious
• getting a hair in my dessert at my cousin's place (what's with all the hair, peeps?)
• Carob chips (Or anything with Whey in it... it makes me swell up like nobody's business!)

Best moments of 2011

• Realizing that Nursing is my calling in life
• Receiving a watercolour painting from a patient 
• Curling up with Gerald after a bad day... and pretty much all other times I see him
• Being done exams and papers for the term
• The feeling I get after a good session of yoga

Worst moments of 2011

• My bag being stolen from TGH
• Being frustrated with various people for various reasons
• Dealing with many people re: yearbook stuff over the summer
• The odd time here and there when I would feel sad about missing my dad and remembering patients that have passed

Hmm.. I don't really know how else to sum up the year. It had its ups and downs, and I learned much from 2011 about myself and of what I would like to do with my life. I made new friends and I think I've matured even more, if that was possible (It's official: I am now an 80-year old woman trapped in a 24-year old body). I've definitely had to deal with more pressure this year, but I think I still need to learn how to deal with it more effectively without taking it out on others. That will be my goal for this year.

As my 2012 resolution, I will try to control my anger better. That, I think, would do the world some good.
