This time last year, I was a complete newcomer to everything: the school, new mates and new relationships. The last 12 months have been a remarkable memory. Life has been good. I have gained significant experiences, failed and stood up. I got the most exciting part-time job I have ever had. I had the chance to work with a diversity of people from the club, with schoolmates from other majors and the chance to connect with some true geeks.

My assignments are getting more challenging; And I love that. This semester, I have really enjoyed the Software Architecture course. Coding everyday makes me feel alive, more than ever before. I have been going to the library almost every day lately, reading books in a variety of topics, especially “followership”.

I became one of the club’ executive members, initiated and executed its first management training program, which has been quite a success so far. It will take a while to get the result, but I believe that what I have been doing will make a positive impact on the future of the organization.

I lost some of the battles against myself, then won them back. I learned a lot about people. I ruined some of the newly-established relationships before realizing that I didn’t do the right thing from the very beginning. I had a crush on a Korean girl, yet haven’t failed in love. I am still looking, and waiting, for the One.

Xmas is coming. It has always been a lonely experience. I am waiting for miracles, but nothing is to be taken for granted. Love is in the air, but maybe I am not ready.

Your home is a retreat from the world, where you admit very few. You tend to isolate yourself more then what is good for you. You have a distinct dislike for superficiality; you mistrust loud, aggressive or pushy people and find it hard to work with people who lack sensitivity. Grace, honesty and an unassailable aesthetic and moral code prevent you from acting underhandedly or particularly hurtful. You have elegance and grace in all that you do, you are a great admirer of sensuous beauty, particularly in people and paintings and you give your home a special touch. You have a strong soulful side and have empathy for all forms of human suffering. You see a distinct difference between being lonely (which you rarely are) and being alone (which you are often) You can become addicted easily to drugs, drink, sex. You crave peak experiences. You ask only to be accepted as you really are. You have few friends that you are close and loyal to. You can be snagged by a pretty face, sensuous voice or alluring body. Once attached to someone it becomes an addiction and when you decide to be free of your love object you experience powerful separation anxiety. Strengths: Soulful – Intimate – Graceful Weaknesses: Reclusive – Disappointed – Suffering

    PS: Sounds true to me.
