end of year review

Another year of my life drawing to a close - funny how the time flies. When you're in the thick of things you pay no attention to it, and when you have nothing to do you collapse into rose-tinted introspection. I'm not sure if I like the latter state of mind; I'd much prefer having things to keep me occupied than sink into a depressive, vegetative state. This is why I always try to fill my time with badminton, Ceroc, open mic nights, and other things.

This year has not been without its plus points:

- Jamiemusic.co.uk website launched with portfolio samples, bio, blog, and more
- Made captain of the Mens Fours team at my badminton club, St Andrews (currently undefeated in 3 games!)
- Put £600 worth of CDs, music books etc. on Amazon
- Most economical Christmas yet?!
- Made quite a few new friends at Ceroc and open mic
- Moved out of shitty Manor Road and into a much nicer, friendlier houseshare in Mollison Drive
- Hit budget in 2/12 months at work, not bad considering the "economic climate" (hate that phrase!)

Only one really negative point:

- STILL NO GIRLFRIEND

Not a lot going wrong otherwise.

badminton match 9

St Andrews 5
New Malden 4

Hybrid Division 1

A light switch must have gone off in my head or something, because for the first time ever I was our top player in a match, winning all 3 of my rubbers with Conor, Scott and Claire, although I had to go through 3 games with the latter two to win them. A good result, particularly as New Malden are no slouches and fielded a team with Robin and Dennis in, who normally play mixed division 2 as well. We are now in a nice mid-table slot over Christmas.
