zimena: Christmas tree (Misc - Christmas tree)
I know I still have one or two posts to write from the Leicester trip, but I've been putting it off because the next part is so emotional to me. There is so much I want to write, but it feels a bit overwhelming to start that post. I'll see if I can get to it during the days between Christmas and New Year, though.

Anyway, something else now. I've been seeing quite a few "2024 roundup" posts during the last couple of days, especially on Twitter. I quite like that idea this year, so here's mine - the things I count as my highlights and/or achievements of the year.

In 2024, I...

* Travelled to the UK by myself, and went to the Snooker Shootout in Leicester.
* Went on a queer Summer camp for a week.
* Had a proper, paid Summer job.
* Signed up for, and physically attended all lessons of, a self-development course in Identity and Communication.
* Saw Bruce Springsteen in concert at Wembley Stadium in London.

I believe these must the main events of the year for me. Interestingly, they're all from the second half of the year. Does that mean that July-December is a better time of the year than January-June, from my point of view? I don't know about that, but I do know that autumn is my favourite season. Not that the list above reflects that either, as much of this happened either during the Summer or very recently.
