Preparations for New Year´s Eve

My holiday´s finished today. Yes, it´s a pity. Tomorrow´s back at everything: the Hospital, preparations for London, studying and more…

If anyone of you likes these weeks in which the world seems to be finishing 31 st December, please, raise your hand! However, this sensation was even worse in Argentina, where December meant running against time with a hot sticky summer on your back, melting while you tried to leave every business solved in the old year.

Yesterday, I went to the cinema to see New Year´s Eve. I liked it. If you knew me by now, you´d realize I love this kind of movies. I don´t know. There´s  something inspiring about this Holiday movies.  Like they give you the idea that everything´s gonna be fine next year. That sharing, forgiveness and love will surround us and make this world better. That´s why I like them. Of course, there´s always the romantic theme, I´m not gonna deny I also enjoy this subject (I love cheesy things  nowadays). But, all the sudden, watching a movie in which you´d like to be living on, it´s nice.  I went  to the cinema with my mother, and next to us there was a couple of fifteen-year-olds, that spent almost the entire movie talking and kissing. I felt a little old. And a little sad (not having a boyfriend by my side to kiss during the movie…), but it´s OK. Going with my mother has the advantage of talking of how hansom can Josh Duhamel be, and discussing Sarah Jessica Parker´s shoes. So, it wasn´t that bad at all.

I´m on the train to Madrid now, I´m carrying my hugeeeeeee suitcase I bought for the London trip. And I don´t even wanna think how I´m gonna pull it throw the Underground. That makes me also think, of how I´m gonna move with this large suitcase in London. Don´t worry, I´m used to moving big lugagges in public transport.

This New Year´s Eve,  I´m also on duty.  Dinner with the nurses  (the most funny, caring and nice crew!).  I hope this year for a quiet night, and please,  not a very sad one! I have to take the dessert. I´ll make the Smitten Kitchen´s NY cheesecake. And I´m also preparing some chicken and bacon rolls, and homemade flavored bread. This means, Friday´s afternoon I´ll be cooking like crazy.

And what about New Year´s Resolutions?

This year I´m so nervous about the London thing,  that my resolutions are kind of forgotten. Not caring about the ones from 2011, and somehow, not making new resolutions for 2012. Tricky, isn´t it?, and a little disturbing I might say.  But still I don´t forget I have to finish a proyect about Invasive fungal infections (or the Doctor responsible for it would kill me!) before the end of 2011.

To sum up: this year was a good year.

-I presented my Thesis (predoctoral, but still a big effort!)
-I´ve started using my Lomography camera.
-I´ve travelled with friends.
-I´ve met a lot of interesting people.
-I had so much fun.
-I´ve practiced a lot (and I really mean: a lot!) my English.
-I´ve started my Blog (now´s when the guy with the “applause sign” comes in!!!, so clap your hands!)

And I don´t know. I still have to find Prince Charming. I hope 2012 will bring him to me. While waiting, I have new Projects, and that´s the most important. It´s going to be a hard year, I know. I´m finishing the Residency program on June, and my life will change a little. But even if I´m a bit scared, I trust everything will work out fine. I have a feeling.

Enjoy what´s still left of 2011!!!
