Aston is Aston...ishing

Ok, so after some encouragement I decided to adopt Camilla's self-appreciation scheme. It is true that we all focus on the negative too much, and I feel that we are starting to focus on the negative of other people too much aswell. We really need to change. This may be boring for you, and so please don't feel oblidged to read, but I do recommend you try this yourself. It makes you feel better about yourself :).
So, here is what I like about myself (even though I may complain sometimes):

I love my hair. It is quite a unique colour and has bits of blonde, brown and even a coppery-gold. It is usually straight without much use of electrical appliances, but can also curl easily which means it is versitile. I don't ever want to dye it incase I lose my colour :)

My eyes. They change colour ranging from grey, blue, green and sometimes a hazel colour. This means I never get bored of them. I know how strange that sounds but it's true. Similarly, I swear they are mood eyes. They are green when I am really happy or excited, and then blue/grey when I'm sad or nervous. I may just be imagining this but it makes me feel special in a little way.

I don't get spots that often. I mean of course I get the odd few and ususally more when I have a cold or something, but I am really lucky compared to some people who have acne or a lot of spots, and can't help it.

I am quite slim despite eating what I want, and not doing much exercise. I think this is because I eat healthy things too, as I like them aswell. Its all about balance. I also drink lots of water. Its mainly all I drink! With the exercise, it seems walking around school and up and down the stairs are enough for me.
I also have a 0.73 waist-to-hip ratio, which is apparently good.

I am quite intelligent. I did really well in my GCSEs and I worked to get there. Now I am doing 4 AS Levels, and although I find them difficult sometimes I am actually coping quite well. I also know lots of random pointless things that do end up becoming useful. This is the product of programmes such as QI.
I have also been told I am a brilliant mathematician ;)

I am outstanding for the good reasons. In comparison to the bad. In other words, I can stand out when I want to.

And what I think is the most important thing of all is that I am a good person. I can have a laugh, but I am also sensible. I always try my best at things and try to do what is right. Furthermore, I am a good friend. I always try to do things in the best interest of my friends and family and am always there to support them. I enjoy helping them and trying to do special things for them (no matter how big or small). It is really hard to show how much you care for people and so I do this by trying to be just a text or a phone call away, even if it doesn't always work out that way.

Oh, and I am really strange. But that's a good thing. It means I'm individual.

2009...wow that went fast.

So, 2009 is actually over and I know I always say it but it went so quickly. I feel that so much happened last year, even though I suppose nothing really did. It is little personal things I think. Stuff like house arts (twice), house charities, random school trips; maths trips, oxbridge trip, my Mum's party, other peoples parties, tag days, sleepovers, Murder Mystery play, study leave, GCSES, Summer, McFly, Thorpe Park, Mum breaking her foot, Results Day, A Levels, Christmas, New Years and just random days out and at school. Its amazing how many memories I have from normal lessons.
But, I realised that all of these things are good memories, or memories at all, because of the people they involve. I grew closer to a lot of people in 2009 and became friends with people I didn't really think I would. 2009 really made me appreciate who is in my life, and how much I don't want things to change - which is really annoying.
I also developed as a person in 2009 and am now a little bit more sure of who I am, and I'm not planning on changing that for anyone. Of course, the future is a large, white canvas and I have no idea what it holds, but at least I know how I want to go forward - in myself.
Admittedly, it had its downsides but I think last year may be one of the best years to date.
I apologise for how sentimental, or whatever, this is but I am in one of those reminiscing moods. I don't want things to change. But, thank you everyone who was part of 2009 - in a large way or a small. And I hope your 2009, or 2010 for that matter, is as good as mine was.
I guess time flies when you're having fun
