London one year on

So, precisely one year ago was my first day in London. I think I was probably eating dinner at CousCous at this point. I've been thinking a lot lately about what this last year has brought to me. And wow. It's been a lot to say the least. Let's see where should I begin.
In the last year I fell completely in love and had my heart completely broken. To be honest, I thought there were days that I wouldn't be able to ever survive it. But I have. It's probably cheesy, but Kanye West has a song...Stronger. The chorus inspires me.
I was diagnosed with a condition that I can do very little about and given medication that makes me quite ill...that's fun.
I went on a cruise and visited three wonderful locations and got a great tan in the process.
I got promoted and was given the chance to help with the training of my new people. What a great experience. What great people! I'm so lucky to be supervising such a great, motivated group of individuals.
I got into Graduate school. (I think this I may be most proud of this year) My first class is finished and the second one starts on Monday. International Law. I think this one is going to be interesting--there are actually weeks where we have mock trials with each member of the class representing a different actor in the trial. That's going to be fun!
What a difference a year makes, to be sure. I wonder what this one has in store for me? By this time next year, I'll only be one class away from graduating. I have to say, that seems pretty hard to believe, but it's true. And who knows where things will go with that boy who just makes me smile so much...
