Un Jour en Decembre

"A Day in December"
That what it means. The title, I mean. Just in case you're wondering.
Yes, today is a day in December, too.
But today is kinda special for me.

I've been busy throughout last month and it seems like it won't be done at least until December 20th. 
So, I took time to write, just because this IS December 2nd. And, again, today is a special day for me.
I thought of today, and how it would meant for anyone else besides me. Probably that date is their birthday, or maybe someone close died on that date. Perhaps loved ones are in labor, or maybe something terrible happens.. and the list goes on.
Then I wondered why today feels very special to me.
This is the day that God has given to me, not to be just an ordinary day, but a day where I'm closing my age, rounding it up to the next. Today is the day to reflect on what have I done since the last December 2nd. Yesterday I thought, well, there won't be much to write this year. But then I thought again. And it turned out I did quite significant things this year.

When I first started 20, I didn't know what I would do, what I would become. And saying that now, doesn't mean that I know NOW. I DON'T. But there are some things that I did, which I believe would lead me closer to what I'd achieve.

So, here goes the list.

1. Last year, only "bon appetite!" that came accross my mind when I heard someone speaking in French. Now, in French I could count to 100 and more, explaining why I did what I did, telling short anecdote about what I did (in the past), listening to people talking in French and understand 1/100 word. Not much I know, but it's like from zero to 20%..

2. I got a job interview. Nothing special about that, just some experience worthy for my next job interview ;)

3. Signing up to be a co-lecturer's assistant, in my campus, we call it "Student's Assistant".

4. Experiencing payday, though it really isn't much, but, hey, it's money.

5. Meet new people and kept the old ones posted.

These lists I made not to make myself a proud person, although I'm quite proud. But it's to motivate. To show that I may not know now, but that doesn't matter. Carpe diem, seize the day. Do what you can and do it NOW, or NEVER. A second later is a second too late. Grab every opportunity that lies ahead. I think that's the most amazing lesson I've learned throughout the year. And finally, I hope this reflections work.. because God knows I have a commitment issues.
