Thoughts on 2012

SONY DSC

As the sun sets on 2012 here in Frankfurt, I thought I should just think over the past year. It’s been a crazy one, but one that I think will still shape me in the months to come.

The highlights of my year were when I went to see my Japanese students graduate – surprising the whole school with my visit, and when my first game came out and I went to see children play with it in the shop.

It’s been a really tough year in a number of ways, too, with the loss of my uncle only a month or so ago still playing on my mind all the time. I think 2012 was a year that made me grow up a little bit more, become a little stronger and find out who I am just that little bit more, as well.

My new years resolutions will be -

1. Travel more. I enjoyed my time in Paris SO much, I need to do it more often. I will start by going to more German towns and then working my way out from there.

2. Chill out and enjoy life. I should stop worrying about what I’m doing and what I think should happen and just enjoy the now.

3. BE BETTER AT GERMAN. Seriously. I need to get this down. I want to be able to have a proper conversation by June. That is my goal.

What are your new years resolutions? And I wish you all a good night and a happy 2013!

  1. Wishing you a fantastic, enthusiastic & creative 2013 dear. You can def make the best of it!! :D
    In case you travel to the capital, let me know & we meet for coffee and some beauty shopping ;) If you like of course.
    Best wishes! XoXo

  2. A proper conversation by June! That should be fun. Frohes Neues Yar.

  3. Good luck on your German resolution! I hope that you make it–I can really identify. I’m finding that I have to try to make a little work every day, and I’ll find myself farther along than where I was. Learning a little vocabulary, listening to the radio a bit, and talking when you can will add up quick. Mach’s gut!

  4. Happy New Year! Wow! You speak Japanese, English and now German? I am really considering learning German as well though. My new years resolution is to blog more, read more, write more and just enjoying the moment. It’s really nice that I started worldpress. I get to meet wonderful and talented people like you! So nice meeting you! and have a lovely year!

  5. Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute für 2013 und das Erreichen Deiner Ziele und Pläne.

  6. I hope you get to fulfill more of your travel dreams. Germany has a ton of cute towns to offer. Heidelberg is a must. Leipzig and Dresden symbolize important parts of German industry. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to Berlin (I haven’t) but I heard that it worth a trip! ;-)
    Also, the proximity to Austria/Switzerland/Italy might be appealing…And you really don’t need that much money if you stay in hostels.
