We're only hours away from 2010 now but rather than becoming increasingly lubricated by booze with friends I'm recovering from a stomach bug. Andy and Kirsty have both been ill and Mum and Stuart are still ill so it could have been much worse I should be thankful that it only lasted a day or so but even so it seems a pants way to end the year. Quite a year too. There were undoubtedly ups, getting into med school at the 11th hour and becoming course president were pretty awesome, but the year seemed punctuated by familial health concerns and more recently a loans company screw up which means I'm 2 grand worse off than I was a month ago. Anyway 2009 is on its way out and that means, in theory at least, a fresh start awaits. And for the first time I can remember I am making some New Year's resolutions:
More blogging A quick scan shows I've only managed to get the half the posts up this year that I did in 2008, hopefully I can change that in 2010
At least 2 runs or rides every week Ok not the most ambitious training plan particularly given some blogs I read aim for 5000km cycling in a year but given that my achilles heel is consistency and time is limited i'm aiming low and playing the long game.
Go to the cinema every month Another thing I'm good at chatting about but not actually doing
I'm sure there was at least one more, ah well!

Single Speed Euro Champs
Managed to wangle an entry to the euros! So did Alec, I think we;re determined to get at least 2 laps-the last time we raced together neither of us could stomach a second lap (copious beer and cider the night before plus bike jousting had left its mark)
This year though, this year we're definitely gonna try not to get lapped and/or make 2 laps. Probably.
And the fly might be making its way back out the door :'( Student finance have decided after giving me a grand so far (and funding other people on the course) that my course is in fact NOT eligible for funding. Weird that seeing as I know at least half a dozen people who ARE on this course and funded. Time to pull presidential strings and ask my new best friend at the student union about a hardship fund. :(
