I'm thinking that 2011 is a sucky year

But I want to be more objective in my statements. Plus I am pms-ing so a lot of things are bothering me.

Good things that happened this year:
I got my Master's.
I got to go to Japan for the first time.
I got accepted for a scholarship to do a PhD in National University of Singapore.
I got my first first author publication in International Journal of Health and Geographics. (update: I've been told it's labeled a Highly Accessed article now and has had 960 downloads so far!)
I won a Macbook pro.

Not so good things that happened this year:
I had to leave the US for good.
Atan Rambo passed away.
I didn't get to do my proper honeymoon in Europe.
I didn't get to do my alternate proper honeymoon in Bangkok.
I realized I didn't want to do a PhD in National University of Singapore, so I left and declined the scholarship.
I haven't gotten my other publications published yet. And one manuscript actually needs a pretty big overhaul in light of new arising issues. *sigh*

Jury is still out on these things:
I (finally) got an offer to do PhD at Monash University, but don't know if I'll get scholarship to do it yet. Time will tell.
Ikram and I are buying an apartment, but it's a dodgy one and is taking forever to process and I'm starting to feel like I wish I just spent my money on something else. Like a trip somewhere. But I dunno maybe it'll be a good investment in the future, even if it won't be a home. Time will tell.
My part time job writing stuff for my supervisor. Hopefully it's good work at the end, but I feel so out of it most days.

So that's 6 not so good things versus 5 good things. I guess 2011, by a narrow shave, is rather a sucky year. Or maybe I'm just a ridiculously spoiled brat.
